Wonderful visit with Hương Lan of Hue, Vietnam!

Written By Bill Pearl

Lan translated my first novel, Hearts on Fire, Paris 1968 and helped me get the character of My Hanh right in the second novel, Mission in Paris 1990. She is a top guide in Hue and took me for a tour of the tomb of emperor Guia Long, the founder of the Nguyen dynasty. This is the last dynasty before the arrival of the French in 1858.
