Vietnam, 1972: under a full moon, on the banks of the Song Ma River, a baby girl is pulled out of her dead mother’s grave. This is Rabbit, who is born with the ability to speak with the dead. She will flee from her destroyed village with a makeshift family thrown together by war. As Rabbit channels the voices of the dead, their chorus reconstructs the turbulent history of a nation, from the days of French Indochina and the World War II rubber plantations to the chaos of postwar reunification. Review: This is a 5 star book - I rarely write reviews. However, after finishing this book I was disappointed to see that it only averages 4 stars. So reluctantly I write this. desertcart reviews are funny things. It as though we are expected to review a book with the same system of criteria we would a pocket knife or a pack of crew socks. And perhaps many books fulfill such practical functions (to educate, to entertain, etc.) and should be judged as such. Did it fulfill its intended use? Would you recommend it? But perhaps some books transcend utility value. Those should be judged on their own merit like any other work of art. I believe this is one of those books. Quan Barry has done a remarkable job of transforming a sad and often gruesome history into something beautiful... even hopeful. In language often poetic but never pretentious she portrays the collisions between Light/Dark, East/West, Ancient/Modern, Communism/Capitalism, and yes, as promised in the description, between the living and the dead. Yes, it is different. Perhaps hard to follow at times. The narrative momentum is certainly different from many other more popular novels and is perhaps even experimental in nature but I did not find that it detracted from the story. Neither does the dramatic curve follow a conventional trajectory--the peak of the drama follows the reader's own heightened cultural understanding as much as it does any particular "action" in the novel. Yes, it is challenging. Yes it is sometimes hard to follow. But she offers clues from the very beginning about what the themes are and what to pay attention to. No, it is not summer beach reading. No, I would not recommend it to many of my friends. But there are some I would. I would not typically recommend listening to Bruckner either. That is no fault of Bruckner's. So, if you have any interest whatsoever in reading this book, (which you do, because you are reading reviews,) just buy it. Read it. And be glad such a work of art as this exists in the world. Review: Beautifully written - A truly beautiful, so although terribly sad story. At times it was hard to follow because the story jumped around such that I think I missed some important parts, like why did Rabbit and her family leave Cambodia to return to Vietnam? I loved the details used, the description s of scents made me feel like I was right there. I will definitely recommend this book to others. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #856,029 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,384 in Military Historical Fiction #6,457 in War Fiction (Books) #26,720 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 100 Reviews | ## Images ![She Weeps Each Time You're Born (Vintage Contemporaries) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xZfco0SkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a 5 star book *by T***Z on August 1, 2015* I rarely write reviews.

Magical realism, social realism, memory & the war. *by S***N on June 13, 2015* Reads, flows like a river, back and forth. Lyric, mysterious, harsh visions, sorrow and love. Back and forth, flowing through decades. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/54594047-she-weeps-each-time-youre-born-vintage-contemporaries](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/54594047-she-weeps-each-time-youre-born-vintage-contemporaries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
