Description
Vietnam, 1972: under a full moon, on the banks of the Song Ma River, a baby girl is pulled out of her dead mother’s grave. This is Rabbit, who is born with the ability to speak with the dead. She will flee from her destroyed village with a makeshift family thrown together by war. As Rabbit channels the voices of the dead, their chorus reconstructs the turbulent history of a nation, from the days of French Indochina and the World War II rubber plantations to the chaos of postwar reunification.

I randomly picked this book up at my university’s library cause I liked the cover. It’s the first novel I read that was written by a poet and wow. I couldn’t identify with the content but it was written so beautifully, that I couldn’t have stopped, even if I had wanted to. Even though I didn't see anything of myself or my life in this book, it still resonated with me at times and I think that's a beautiful thing.
