Journalist and travel writer Carol Howland was so beguiled by Vietnam that she spent a year travelling the length of this long, thin country. Delving into Vietnam's mysterious three thousand-year-old civilization, she meets a man who creates 'antique' Buddhist statues, a woman who 'sculpts' royal banquets, the aged manservant of the last dowager queen and one of the men who might have become emperor – if Vietnam still had an emperor. She wanders through Vietnam's oldest pagodas, through the palaces of the last imperial capital and takes us behind the scenes of Hanoi's classical opera and the traditional water puppet theatre. Carol Howland penetrates Vietnam's traditional culture in a way that no writer ever has.
