Reseña del editor:

Through the story of Suong, a celebrated singer, and Hung, her composer husband, Memories of a Pure Spring paints an intimate portrait of modern Vietnam and its citizens as they struggle to survive under the complexities of the post-war regime. At the same time it tells a simple, universal story of love that is both haunting and riveting. `Huong takes us on an emotionally intense and exceedingly intelligent journey' New York Times `Huong, a brilliant storyteller, skillfully illuminates the human spirit's capacity for brutality and compassion, betrayal and beauty in each elegantly drawn and poignantly powerful scene in this complex and timeless novel' Booklist
