Synopsis
This saga of Vietnam life at the turn of the 20th century begins when Dan Nguyen, at the age of 7, is married to Ven, who is 20 years older and poor, and is meant to serve as a kind of nanny to Dan and servant to the rest of the family--most of whom are then executed for treason. Ven's energies then become directed toward restoring the family status and fortune to her young husband. But Dan grows up, and the situation becomes complicated when he falls in love with the daughter of a rival family....

Publisher's Note
After witnessing the killing of his father in a politically motivated power play by the local mayor, young Dan Nguyen is sworn to avenge his father's death and masquerades as a servant in his enemy's house to protect himself, but his revenge is undermined by his growing love for his enemy's beautiful granddaughter, in a vivid novel set in turn-of-the-century Vietnam. A first novel.

Industry Reviews
"A fablelike tale set in turn-of-the-century Vietnam offers intrigue, revenge, a treasure map, and undying love....Nguyen's first fiction works best when confined to the more intimate aspects of its character's lives."
Kirkus Reviews (08/15/2002)
