About this listen

Joseph Sherman first visits Saigon, the capital of French colonial Cochin-China, in 1925 on a hunting expedition with his father, a US senator. He is lured back again and again as a traveler, a soldier, and then as a reporter by his fascination for the exotic land and for Lan, a mandarin's daughter he cannot forget.

Over five decades, Joseph's life becomes enmeshed with the political intrigues of two of Saigon's most influential families, the French colonist Devrauxs, and the native Trans - and inevitably with Vietnam's turbulent, war torn fate. He is there when the hatred of a million coolies rises against the French, and when the French Foreign Legion fights it's bloody last stand at Dien Bien Phu.

Immersive Experience

Narration is crisp and clear and perfectly paced
The historical fiction takes you through all the crucial moments in Vietnam's history. This book starts from 1925, ends where The Sympathizer begins, 1979.
The history unfolds around Joseph Sherman as a fifteen year old kid in Saigon to finally his pulsating escape from the city as a sixty three year old grandfather pulling his granddaughter onto the last helicopter out of Saigon. And in the interim the story is of frienship, love, betrayal, espionage, patriotism, war and heart wrenching loss.
