Vietnam by the Book - a new tour from Rusty Compass

I'm heading out on tour again in October 2018 and 2019. Join me on a 15 day journey through the history, culture and unique beauty of Vietnam, using the works of three authors to help us along our way. Our journey will take us to Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Dien Bien Phu, Sapa, Hue, My Son, Hoi An and Saigon. Graham Greene’s The Quiet American, Duong Van Mai Elliott’s Sacred Willow and Nguyen Qui Duc’s Where the Ashes Are, tell three different tales of Vietnam’s modern history. The insights of these authors will give context to this unique travel experience. Our shared reading will help to tell the stories of the places we visit. We’ll travel and read beyond these books too.
