Synopsis

Returning once again to Viet Nam, where more than thirty years previously they had been correspondents during the Vietnam War, Iain Finlay and Trish Clark take up the job of coaching a team of young Vietnamese people at the Voice of Vietnam radio network in Hanoi. Here, Iain and Trish describe their experiences and their encounters with the New Viet Nam. They describe with warmth and humor the various people they work with, and the personalities they meet and get to know in and around the small courtyard where they live. This is a warm, fascinating book about modern Viet Nam, as revealed through the lives of ordinary people.

About this title

About the Author

Iain and Trish ...have been journalists, foreign correspondents, radio and TV producers and presenters, as well as authors, for some fifty years. They have written several fiction and non-fiction works separately. and five jointly-written non-fiction works. Co-founders of the internationally successful science program for television, Beyond 2000, they have travelled, lived and worked on every continent. In recent years they have also worked as volunteers with the Voice of Viet Nam radio network helping broadcasters there improve their English language programming. The two of them have recently embarked on the challenging task of wrenching back the ownership of all their titles, written solo or together and are having a deal of enjoyment in establishing an e-publishing company, by which they hope to make all their previously published and unpublished titles available to a wider public. They have shared life together since 1965, have children and grandchildren and, when not traveling, live in Australia on the far north coast of New South Wales.
