Attached is the cover image of the novel our co-publisher Judith Shepard called “a beautiful and terrifying new novel,” which we will be publishing in March of 2019 as a 312-page hardcover at $29.95, Mrs. Rossi's Dream by Khanh Ha.
In his latest novel, Khanh Ha is able to capture the cruelty and senselessness of the Vietnam War within the beautiful story of a mother’s love for her son, human connection, and vivid descriptions of Vietnam’s country and culture.
Mrs. Rossi’s dream of bringing a last chapter of her life to a close by finding the final resting place of her son in Vietnam is the catalyst that starts us on this journey. We hope you find it as captivating as we do.

Book Reviews:
“Evocative, mysterious, and lovely, this is a remarkable book, for the beauty of the writing, the compassion for all the characters on any side.”—Judith Shepard, co-publisher and editor-in-chief of The Permanent Press
“Richly sensory, gorgeously descriptive, harrowingly disturbing, and beautifully told, Khanh Ha’s Mrs. Rossi’s Dream brings to life a different side of Vietnam—not just the war (though this should surely be a must-read for anyone wanting to see the different sides of conflict), but also the aftermath of peace. . . . Khanh Ha’s novel is hauntingly real, embracing the reader with vivid detail and refusing to let go.”—Sheila Deeth
Will be available by mid-May in audio book by Rakuten Kobo (run time: 10.5 hours).
