About this ebook
Napalm and Chewing Gum describes the trials and tribulations of a teenage brother and sister, Anh and Su, growing up in a shanty town in Hue, Vietnam. Their story is set against a background of poverty, war and exploitation. Su is being lured into prostitution, by her Uncle Four Elbows. Anh is trying to make his fortune by collecting war relics from the Demilitarised Zone(DMZ). Although the Vietnam war finished in 1975, the DMZ is still full of unexploded bombs and shells, and Anh is about to discover how dangerous they are. This is the tale of a brother and sister fighting against all odds, in what soon becomes a matter of life and death.
