Angels of Saigon
By Leonie Campbell 

     Angels of Saigon introduces the reader to Thi Kim, a Vietnamese woman who is trying to survive the Vietnam War and succeed for herself. In this harrowing story, the woman simply wants a place to belong and someone to love, but is raped, loses a child, and deserts her husband. She eventually finds a place where she never thought she could belong, but sees the positive work being done and vows to continue to help the children of Vietnam.

     Angels of Saigon clearly shows Ms. Campbell's first hand look at Vietnam and what women had to go through during and after the war. Ms. Campbell is able to show the reader the depth of Thi Kim's character through character development, demonstrating the heart-rending suffering of the Vietnamese people. There are several subplots, but they never deter from the main story line.

     Angels of Saigon is a well-written story that clearly shows examples of how the people of Vietnam, in particular the children and women, were effected by the Vietnam War.
