"My Vietnam, Your Vietnam is a book for those who left their homeland but still hold a deep longing for the Vietnam that lives in their memory. It is also for the children born in foreign lands who yearn to understand their roots. And it is for anyone who wishes to witness a sincere dialogue between two generations-between those who have never truly left Vietnam in their hearts, and those who are trying to find their way back." -Vi?t Bao
