Just finished reading these two books. They were so wonderful that now I am in withdrawal. Can anyone recommend some more books like these? Help.

catfish and mandela by andrew pham
woman of war-child of peace
and down highway one...all great vietnam books

Sacred Willow I thought was one of the best Vietnam novels I ever read. AZre you looking for more fiction and just about Vietnam?

I loved catfish and mandala - indeed, I was trying yo recall the name of the book for a friend who is going to VN. Thanks for the prompt, divediva

Thanks to all. I found all of them listed in The Rough Guide - so I have the authors and can try to obtain them. Even though I live in Denver - most things have to be ordered from Amazon, etc. I guess because many are UK books.

divediva - It says Child of War, Woman of Peace is a follow up to When Heaven and Earth Changed Places. Have you or anyone perhaps read that one too? I might should read that one first and just get both. I can't seem to get enough lately...

connettee...right you are...the first book was much better than the second...a personal
look at a vietnamese woman who survives
the war.

kathie...i loved catfish and mandela....cant
wait...5 weeks and counting till we go to vietnam

Have a wonderful time, diva, I know you will!

Thanks divediva and kathie.
I've ordered Catfish and Mandale (for Vietnam)and The Piano Turner (for Myanmar) reading.

Also, thank you Divediva for the directions to the Face.

Isis, I think you'll enjoy both of those books as well as your upcoming travels.
