Mission Improbable: Vietnam (A Blanche Murninghan Mystery) by Nancy Nau Sullivan – Review by Sharon Funkhouser

Mission Improbable: Vietnam by Nancy Nau Sullivan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

While this book was not at all what I expected (yes, there was a mystery to be solved; more than one, in fact), I expected a much more lighthearted approach to fact finding and discovery. What I got, instead, was a beautiful telling of two women searching for lost family members related to the war in Vietnam, filled with detailed descriptions of the land, the people and the culture of Vietnam. I don’t typically lean towards selecting books that are post-war era, and I wouldn’t necessarily classify this book as such, however Nancy Nau Sullivan did an incredible job of capturing the heartache of a country ravaged by war (decades later) yet continuing on, and mostly with a positive Buddah-inspired mindset. I was apprehensive starting the book as to whether or not I would enjoy it, and I was pleasantly surprised!
