    Devastating in its impact while simultaneously enlightening in its effect, The Mountains Sing is a deep, unflinching analysis of war and compassion, as well as loyalty, love and grief, and how those are heightened especially amidst the horrors of war and propaganda. Mai’s characters come to sharp, crystalline detail as they endure against the circuitous violence that affected, and continues to affect, Vietnam through different points in history, such as The Great Hunger and The Land Reform. This novel, haunting in its ability to move from the trauma and abuse Diu Lan was forced to endure and the excruciating decisions she was forced into making for survival to Hng’s experiences in the bomb shelter, exceeds in its call for finding more compassion and humanity within ourselves, and a deeper, more nuanced understanding of cultures beyond the American spectrum. Incredibly and viscerally heart-breaking and epodic in equal turn, The Mountains Sing left a lingering resonance of reflection, adoration, and anguish for Diu Lan, Hng, and the rest of the Tran family.

    Hi all! I actually have tentatively chosen a book for this prompt ( Flights by Olga Tokarczuk ) , but on account that I have a subtle itch to implement more global bodies of work into my repertoire that is spurned more by the day, I feel like I could turn to this wonderful platform for recommendations!

    I want to know how others tag/sort/organize their digital PB libraries!

    I'm in the middle of a BIG Library overhaul because I love digital origination and want to know what other people do!

    If you want to take a peak at mine and give me feedback at what I could be missing I would love! I can always learn of a to organize better!
