"A little disappointed, it was an okay book... I felt there were sooooo many exaggerations and events that I had to be skeptical about them but since my professor is in love with this book I trudged on and finished it. Don't recommend this to anyone as a leisure read for sure, especially us kids who don't even know specific details about the Vietnam war."
"A marvelous book about a turbulent time in the soul of a women. Her torment and struggle growing up in a devastated country where survival and death are constant. Lots of interplay between past memories and present action all co-mingling. A true warrior in the not distant past."
"This book did a wonderful job of seeing the Vietnam/American war from a young Vietnamese girl. The book spans most of the girl's lifetime, and is a true story. I learned so much about Vietnam, it's people, traditions, customs, but mostly I appreciated getting a glimpse of this war and this land from a different perspective."
"Fleeing the violence of the Viet Cong, Le Ly leaves her farming village with her mother for Saigon. After disgracing herself by becoming pregnant with her new master's child, she moves in with her sister and, through hustling the American troops, meets up with Steve Butler. They become lovers and, encouraged by his promises, she agrees to return with him to the strange but wonderful land of "America""
