HERE'S WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:

"Described by Gibb with empathy and clarity...Gibb ties the strands of the narrative together...with care, with gentleness, and with reality. She employs all the senses to create a vivid aesthetic tapestry. Seeing such hope in the face of such adversity is uplifting." Globe and Mail

"A debunker of stereotypes and a seeker of the big picture, [Gibb] isn’t satisfied with merely creating convincing characters and a bold plot. She educates and enlightens the reader whose grasp of Vietnam’s history and culture may be based on little more than the vague recall of old headlines."  Montreal Gazette

“Great characters, expertly written…another winner from Gibb.” Now Magazine

"Writing with grace and understanding, The Beauty of Humanity Movement is simply heartwarming. The writing, story and understanding brought to the book left me astonished, predicting that when award time comes around, Camilla Gibb's name will loom large." The Sun Times (Owen Sound)

“A dynamite read.” PostCity Magazines

“…her stunning new novel, The Beauty of Humanity Movement, a moving tale of love, loss and redemption set in contemporary Hanoi.” In Toronto Magazine

“As she did in Sweetness in the Belly…the author demonstrates an amazing ability to inhabit the headspace of people of other cultures living in different times.” Telegraph-Journal (New Brunswick)
