Vuorten laulu on valtavan kaunis, ja raaka, kuvaus Vietnamin sotaisasta historiasta korostaen nimenomaan lasten ja naisten näkökulmaa. Vuorten laulu on sukuromaani, jossa tarina kulkee monen sukupolven kautta ja kahden sukunsa vahvan naisen kertomana. Vietnamin historiasta puhutaan niin paljon amerikkalaisesta näkökulmasta, että kirja oli myös raikas tuulahdus. Lopusta löytyy myös kirjailijan perustelut sekä aiheelle että alkuperäiskielelle (englanti). Mielestäni Elina Salosen suomennos oli erittäin onnistunut.

Kirja sai minut itkemään ja myös tuntemaan myötätuntoa ja iloa henkilöiden kanssa. Suosittelen ehdottomasti!

I loved the look into the history of Vietnam through the generations. The characters and their stories were fully fleshed such that it reads more like a memoir than a historical fiction.
