My Thoughts:
Based on true events, Bronze Drum is an inspiring story of two sisters (Trung Trac and Trung Nhi) that gathered an army of 80,000 Vietnam women to overthrow the Han Chinese and liberate their people. We follow the two sisters from their youth. Trung Trac and Trung Nhi were pretty different. One was a perfect daughter, obedient, and the other was rebellious. Throughout this story, we also take a peek into Vietnam culture. Interestingly, that women could choose and stay unmarried.I strongly recommend this novel to readers of historical tales of brave women and warriors.
The audiobook was a good choice, and the narration was perfect. This way, I could hear the pronunciation of all those names. I loved all the different sounds of drums that the narrator imitated. I was a bit lost a few times, and I think it was because of time lapses and partially because the names confused me. A combination of book and audiobook would be even better.
