The Big Library Read is now LIVE with Twilight Town. Get it today through your Libby app!
This summer’s Big Library Read is Andrew X. Pham’s Twilight Territory, a historical fiction novel set in post-World War II Vietnam. Twilight Territory follows the life of Tuyet, a Vietnamese woman grappling with the changes to her life and her village brought about by war.
From the Big Library Read website:
A lushly panoramic novel, by turns gritty and profoundly moving, Twilight Territory is at once a war story and a love story that offers a fascinating perspective on Vietnam’s struggles to break free of its French colonial past. At its heart is one woman’s struggle for independence and her country’s liberation.
