A Hundred Suns by Karin Tanabe is set in the history of the Michelin empire and the political climate that led to the rise of communism in Vietnam in the 1930s. I wish the history had been a more integral part of this story, which is more a conflict between two manipulative women, their privileged lifestyle, and their back stories. For a book in this setting, I expected more of the history.
