A college dropout, Carmen is desperate to see her mother, Nicole, who now lives with her new family in Hu? City, Vietnam. When Carmen flees Manila for Hue, she meets Hai, a receptionist, tout, and part-time pimp. Ambitious and driven, Hai's goal is to be rich and run his own hotel. This dream feels closer when Hai crosses paths with Marina, a wealthy Singaporean yearning for a new life and love. Told from the points of view of Carmen, Hai, and Marina, Hue City brings you deep into the soul of Southeast Asia-- from the faded, enigmatic streets of Vietnam's former capital Hue to the fraught, gritty drags of Manila and the gleaming, cosmopolitan environs of Singapore-- as it reveals their intertwined journeys along the treacherous and sometimes heartbreaking path to starting over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789815144277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Claire Betita de Guzman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44608361529525,"sku":"9789815144277","price":24.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0c35669e-b176-4600-b3c2-c2e413621c33.jpg?v=1725374418","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hue-city-9789815144277","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
