The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
4.0
Rough at times and funny at times, this is a very good book about a spy from the Communist Party and his life after the war. There are some insightful quotes and the book has some masterful imagery.
For readers under 40, it's helpful to have a background of the Vietnam War before reading. A few times I got confused, and I had to ask my husband for background information that I was missing.
