A review by gubuchu
Madame Butterfly by John Luther Long

4.0

This is a super random review and I don't remember exactly when I first read this but I'm actually super glad that I found the original story and

what happens in the end of the opera and the musical Miss Saigon doesn't happen here

which I'm pretty glad about because I honestly hate Miss Saigon a lot as a Vietnamese person and my friends have heard my rants about it.

So thanks, John Luther Long, for having a sensible ending to this short story, even if I wasn't too keen on your writing. The whole ending just made this story for me.

I'm so glad she decided to live and high tail it out of there so her child could stay with her and NOT with his quack of a father and his wife who wants the kid as an accessory.
