A Wavering Grace – A Vietnamese Family in War and Peace –

“… In A Wavering Grace one of our most distinguished travel writers offers us an unusual and affecting memoir, a unique view of a tragic land. It is the tale of one man’s relationship with a people and a place, but even more it is the tale of one indomitable family, whose own lives read like a chronicle of twentieth-century Vietnamese history.
As Gavin Young writes, ‘This is their story before it is mine.'”
