A collection of stories with many reflections

The short story “Missed Destiny” carries a deep sadness about life and human love. May - the main character girl appears with a fragile and small fate, just like her name. Orphaned, poor, growing up with the obsession of the prejudice of “stepmother and stepchild”, she tried to rise up through education, hoping to escape the bamboo fence of the village. She agreed to marry Chang, a foreign man who had a broken marriage, thinking that happiness would smile but in the end she realized that she had exchanged her youth to enter a life full of bitterness.

The short story “Duyen van phan sinh” has many unanswered questions about human affairs: Are the twisted relationships and adversities in the present all the consequences of karma from previous lives? The short story “Nuoc sa muon”, the work chosen as the title for the entire collection, shows a sensitive, experienced pen, imbued with sympathy for unfortunate fates.

Stories like “Cold Moon”, “Turn Your Back to Ignorance”, “The Trees After the Season of Changing Leaves”, “Lonely Sunset” all leave lingering echoes, awakening compassion in readers. Is it possible that the fast pace of modern life has pushed children and young people into a feeling of loneliness in their own homes, making them feel lost amidst the collision between personal dreams and their parents’ expectations?
