In Daughters of the New Year, our 2025 selection, E.M. Tran divides the novel into two parts: events that happened after 1975 and events that happened before. This date, 1975, marks the Fall of Saigon.
Join us live on YouTube and Facebook on Monday, February 24, at 6:00pm as Dr. John D. Fitzmorris, a professor in the History Department at UNO, discusses the Fall of Saigon and the events that followed. There will be space for audience Q & A after, so come with questions! Dr. Fitzmorris’ talk will provide valuable context for Daughters of the New Year, helping the reader understand exactly why 1975 is such a pivotal moment.
