With this book, Le Minh Ha describes her literary work as "writing word by word, it must be said that writing is very difficult". The most noticeable difference between Le Minh Ha and many other writers about Hanoi is probably the mindset of looking back from afar. In Le Minh Ha's novels, Hanoi is a beautiful, pure, intact memory, a Hanoi that is both recent and seemingly ancient; and a Hanoi of return trips, observations, contemplations, thoughts, comparisons, with new things and also many things that have been lost.
