An Artist's Legacy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869224538)

Amid the raging Indochina War war blossoms a love story when an artist/reporter meets a singer/performer who travels with an entertainment troupe to the valley of Dien Bien Phu for the climactic confrontation between the Viet Minh and the French Union. The lovers become separated after the victory of Đien Bien Phu when the artist is sent to South Viet Nam to fight the American Viet Nam War. They meet again 40 years later in that valley called Đien Bien Phu. His solitary soul is reunited with his truelove. It is a simple love story that transcends cultural barriers.

An Artist's Legacy is a lush, evocative, epic journey, from a love story amid the horror of war to the muted anguish of death and destruction. It carries the quality of Tree of Smoke in a foreign historical setting and an epic sense of Love in the Time of Cholera.
