2 1 y separately published work icon Single White Female in Hanoi Carolyn Shine , ( trans. Linh Vũ Dịch with title Gái Tây Ế" Ở Hà Nội ) Hanoi : Hoi nha van , 2015 Z1833431 2011 single work prose travel 'Sydney-based musician Carolyn Shine moves to Hanoi virtually on a whim, expecting to find romance and available culture. She's in for some big surprises. Funny, warm and engaging, her travel memoir introduces us to a cast of memorable Vietnamese characters as well as her fellow foreigners searching for love and adventure. From teaching English, sub-editing a propaganda news sheet, to forming a blues band, against the backdrop of a world seemingly alive with the promise of romance, this is a beguiling evocation of Hanoi and its people: pungent, earthy and sensual.'
