As the Heart Bones Break (North American)

0/5 ( ratings)

HEART BONES - a unique perspective on the impact of American Vietnamese involvement on South Vietnamese men and the complexities underpinning the quest for country, survival, love and self-acceptance.

When a Viet-Cong spy's cover in America is blown, he’s given two offers he can’t refuse – full disclosure to earn his wife’s forgiveness and an assignment back to Vietnam as an aerospace industry deal-maker. The move makes him rich and allows him to make peace with his war-time choices, but at a terrible price.

"Audrey Chin's expert weaving of this many-layered tale admirably illuminates Vietnam's complex history... giving insight into the web of divided loyalties and allegiainces, both political and emotional, that blighted the lives of so many people in the fight for independence... A tour de force in storytelling" Meira Chand, author of 8 novels including Oprah Recommended "A Different Sky"

"Very promising. Audrey Chin has a storytelling flair and a voice" Andrew X. Pham, author of Kiriyama Prize Winning "Catfish and Mandala" and "The Eaves of Heaven"

"A lyrical journey of self-discovery and identity, Audrey Chin has written a powerhouse of a novel that forces the reader to feel very beat of its thumping heart" Sung J. Woo, author of "Everything Asian"

"... a mesmerizing tale that explores the complicated relationships between fathers and sons, the past and the present, and America and Vietnam..." Wendy Lee, author of "Happy Family"
