Prompt: Set in a Country That Fascinates You
"This book has such a sense of place. I visited Hanoi about six years ago and the descriptions in this book recalled the sights and sounds of that visit really vividly. Her writing is really beautiful as well. But I think the best aspect for me was that the book introduced me to a part of history I hadn't been aware of — the Vietnamese workers who went to Russia to work in factories in the post-war years. And in general, it was interesting to read a book that was set in the aftermath of the war, rather than only covering what happened during it. I'm so glad I discovered this gem." — Chinook
