Such a Lovely Little War: Saigon 1961-63 by Marcelino Truong

3.0

A perfect blend of historical events and personal details. This is a snapshot of a young family moving from country to country and briefly finding a home in Saigon, Vietnam during one of the most tumultuous periods in the country’s history.

This narrative didn’t give me everything that I was looking for in terms of emotional growth or personal development but it is a joy to read because of its factual information and stunning illustrations. Seriously, those watercolor panels are gorgeous.
