Across the Quiet Earth

March 2020. As the world locks its doors, Dennis W. Davis lands in Da Nang on a nearly empty plane to rejoin his Vietnamese wife, Diem, and their two young daughters. What follows is twenty months inside a country that sealed itself off from the world: lockdowns that came and went like the monsoon, a typhoon season that would not end, and, in the windows between, a Vietnam almost no outsider got to see.
