Program Description

Event Details

For the month of February, we will be reading and discussing, The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai.

The Mountains Sing tells an enveloping, multigenerational tale of the Trần family, set against the backdrop of the Việt Nam War. Trần Diệu Lan, who was born in 1920, was forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform as the Communist government rose in the North. Years later in Hà Nội, her young granddaughter, Hương, comes of age as her parents and uncles head off down the Hồ Chí Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that tore apart not just her beloved country, but also her family.

This program will be held in person in the Library's Community Room and simulcasted on Zoom
