Linh, a beautiful young woman, married her professor because she so admired his idealism. When he sells out everything he believes in so as to support her, her love goes. The book follows Linh and Nguyen through Hanoi society after their breakup as they grapple with their consciences and ideals. Huong traces with grace and intelligence how her young heroine moves "beyond illusions" about politics and love to an understanding of how she can control her own destiny.
When Beyond Illusions was first published in 1987 it was immediately confiscated by government officials, but not before thousands of copies were snapped up by Vietnamese readers. Her second novel got her jailed for months without trial and brought her to the attention of the international community, where her growing reputation as writer and dissident was increased by the publication in the US and UK of Novel Without a Name and Memories of a Pure Spring (her work is still banned in Vietnam). Now Huong's debut novel has finally been translated into English; readers will find here 'one more eloquent plea for freedom and tolerance from an accomplished writer and conscience' San Francisco Chronicle.
We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:
* New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.
* Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.
* Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.
* Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.
* Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
