Bookclub – Endless Field by Nguyễn Ngọc Tư

“Endless Field is a tale of Mekong Delta natives, marking Nguyễn Ngọc Tư’s perceptive insight into and sympathy for the farmers (and people in general). Love, revenge, nostalgia, regret, and exposure of dark corners of souls permeate the story making the characters more real.

Endless Field, made into the 2010 film titled The Floating Lives, has          already been translated and published in Korea, China, France, Germany, and Sweden, where it has received much praise.” (from Goodreads)
