Le Ly Hayslip

    Le Ly Hayslip is een Vietnamse-Amerikaanse memoïreschrijfster en humanitair werkneemster wiens werk diep geworteld is in haar persoonlijke ervaringen van oorlogsgeweld. In plaats van stil te staan bij persoonlijk drama, transformeert zij haar doorstane leed in een publieke passie om anderen te helpen hun leven weer op te bouwen. Haar schrijven richt zich op de reis van de chaos van oorlog naar vrede, waarbij de veerkracht van de menselijke geest wordt onthuld ondanks immense ontberingen. Door haar memoires is zij een stem geworden voor overlevenden, die inspireert tot het bouwen van bruggen van begrip en vredesopbouw in zowel Vietnam als de Verenigde Staten.

      It is said that in war heaven and earth change places not once, but many times. When Heaven and Earth Changed Places is the haunting memoir of a girl on the verge of womanhood in a world turned upside down. The youngest of six children in a close-knit Buddhist family, Le Ly Hayslip was twelve years old when U.S. helicopters landed in Ky La, her tiny village in central Vietnam. As the government and Viet Cong troops fought in and around Ky La, both sides recruited children as spies and saboteurs. Le Ly was one of those children. Before the age of sixteen, Le Ly had suffered near-starvation, imprisonment, torture, rape, and the deaths of beloved family members—but miraculously held fast to her faith in humanity. And almost twenty years after her escape to America, she was drawn inexorably back to the devastated country and family she left behind. Scenes of this joyous reunion are interwoven with the brutal war years, offering a poignant picture of Vietnam, then and now, and of a courageous woman who experienced the true horror of the Vietnam War—and survived to tell her unforgettable story.
