Bookclub-in-a-Box Discusses The Beauty of Humanity Movement, by Camilla Gibb: The Complete Package for Readers and Leaders

Marilyn Herbert

3.3/5 ( ratings)

The mystery and beauty of modern-day Vietnam is skillfully unveiled in Camilla Gibb's fourth novel, The Beauty of Humanity Movement, which takes its title from a short-lived group of artists and intellectuals who spoke out against Ho Chi Minh's policies, following the country's liberation from colonial rule. Set in the recent past, it is the story of a country undergoing extraordinary change. Gibb also weaves together a tale of love, loss, and redemption, while exploring the legacy of art and the meaning of the phrase, "not always by bloodlines but by the heart." At the heart of the story is Old Man Hung, one of the few remaining witnesses to the circle of outspoken artists and intellectuals who congregated in the cafe he inherited, and lost, many years before. Included in the discussion guide is an exclusive Bookclub-in-a-Box interview with Camilla Gibb. Every Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide includes complete coverage of the themes and symbols, writing style and interesting background information on the novel and the author.
