The beloved international-bestselling author Julia Alvarez returns with her first adult novel in almost 15 years—just when we need her most.

“By turning to the first page of The Mountains Sing, you will open the door into an authentic Việt Nam where proverbs are sprinkled throughout daily conversations, where lullabies and poems are sung. You will experience the colors, richness, and complexity of our culture.”
