The Mountains Sing affirms the individual's right to think, read, and act according to a code of intuitive civility, borne out of Vietnam's fertile and compassionate cultural heritage." — NPR   "A Vietnamese poet conjures history and fate in a luminous tale that resonates across generations as one family grapples with the psychic residue of war." — O, The Oprah Magazine “A sweeping story that positions Vietnamese life within the ?rich and luminous history of national epics like The Tale of Ki?u  and The Iliad .
