The Husbandless Wharf [Vietnamese]

By: Huong, Duong

[Vietnam Writers Association Literary Award 1991] In a quiet Vietnamese village, after wars against France and America, this novel paints a bleak picture of rural life where men have been decimated by conflict. Women wait endlessly at the village wharf for husbands who never return, facing loneliness, hardship, and societal scars. Through characters like returning veteran Nguyen Van and the resilient women around him, it explores the lingering pain of war on families, love and a community left in the shadow.
