Description
Book SynopsisThe first-person narratives in this book provide a glimpse into the personal lives of fourteen Vietnamese-Americans who were devastated by war and the refugee experience but who were able to create new lives in a new cultural environment.
Trade Review'Though they reflect a much larger tragedy, the specificity and exactness of detail in these narratives give the book its force ... Hearts of Sorrow adds necessary and eloquent testimony to the tragic record of Vietnam's long war ... The book and the stories it contains, impossible to read without one's own heart beginning to ache, bring suffering into the foreground, where it belongs.' The Washington Post
