Reviews

Publishers Weekly

"Readers will not want to put down this epic feminist page-turner."

Kirkus Reviews

"Nguyen reminds us that the power of women is nothing new."

Library Journal

“Nguyen's beautifully written novel will be an eye-opener to people who don't know the turbulent history of the Lac Viet and the Han."

Booklist

"Nguyen brings the near-mythical figures of the Trung sisters to full-blooded life in this sweeping historical narrative."

Historical Novel Society

"The story of these women’s lives is one that will stay with you."

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Bronze Drum is a worthy descendant of earlier accounts of the sisters’ exploits, deftly combining historical legend with a 21st-century sentiment and sensibility."

NPR

"In Phong Nguyen's indelible rendering, Bronze Drum resurrects an early segment of Vietnamese history that both evokes and subverts the founding myth of the United States."

Saigoneer

"An Entertaining, TV-Ready Reimagining of the Legend of Hai Ba Trung."

Manhattan Book Review

"Bronze Drum is a beautiful historical narrative that will inspire and educate readers."
