Finding Father – Vietnam 50 Years After by Peter S. Glick

Posted on

Finding Father Vietnam 50 Years After by Peter S. Glick is a vibrant story that retraces the steps of two men, from different countries, who search for their roots in modern-day Vietnam. Glick, who lived in Vietnam for several years, transports readers to the streets of Saigon, the lush rubber and tree plantations and the mysterious tribal hamlets in this dynamic story of family, romance, and self-discovery.

The novel provides the feeling of reading something between fictional work and memoir. So many things in this moving story can be traced back to the author’s experiences in Vietnam during the American war years and after. The search for family is hauntingly familiar as are the characters in the book.

“Peter Glick has written a superb work of fiction. Like Graham Greene’s The Quiet American, Finding Father powerfully captures a time in history and the timeless complexity of relationships across cultures.” — James McAllister, Professor of Political Science, Williams College
