Top 5 Most Meaningful and Beautiful Books by the Author Gào

Mother, Baby, and Father is a heartfelt project by author Gào, a book she worked on for 5 years. This book is full of inspiration for life, love, and happiness.

It’s simply a collection of little stories where Gào shares with her children the small, everyday things that bring great happiness and peace. It tells the story of the parents' love, the times they were apart, feeling like they might never reunite. But they find each other again, after what seemed like a lost journey. It’s the joy and speechless happiness when they find out they are expecting their first child, Bìn, and later, Min. It’s the moment Bìn first cries, and the first steps taken under the loving guidance of their father.

Every time you turn a page of Mother, Baby, and Father, you’ll feel your heart slow down. Sometimes, happiness is so simple, yet it can be so elusive to find.

You’ll smile at Gào’s clumsy moments as a first-time mother, smile because it warms your heart, and smile because in the end, you’ll realize: “The love of a father and mother is so forgiving that we can never fully imagine it.” Just like other parents, Gào has hopes for her children. But instead of pushing them to be extraordinary, Gào hopes that her little angels grow up to be good people—people who dream, who live kindly with love and compassion.

Mother, Baby, and Father is a book about family and Gào’s children. Through her honest, emotional sharing, you’ll see that life outside can be beautiful, simple, and full of love, if we just know how to choose happiness for ourselves.

Sometimes, we expect too much and forget that happiness comes from the little things around us. It’s not an illusion somewhere far away.

Sometimes, we fear married life, fear family life, not knowing that family is the miraculous place we return to after the storms, after losses, and the struggles outside.

In those days, though we may have struggled greatly, we were grateful for life, for it was through those hardships that we were able to remain by each other's side... Don't call me a memory, this book embodies just that.

This book was written during the cold days in Northumbria, drawing from the real experiences of love, with the heart of a girl who had forgotten the small things she once cherished, only for those memories to flood back while standing in the place where the one she loved lived and studied.

Those unfinished stories were suddenly pieced together.

Those lost loves were unexpectedly rekindled.

The long tales that once seemed impossible to tell were suddenly written.

All of this blended together, becoming the sweetest melodies of love, woven throughout "Don't Call Me a Memory".

Amidst those far-away people, those who left their beloved homeland for a future, and sometimes even for unfulfilled loves from the past, they had no choice but to rely on one another, sharing genuine affection. There, new relationships were born, stories followed stories, and unfinished business was continued. We struggled to breathe each day. We should lean on one another. We should live happy days together.

But those days in Northumbria were merely a stop in life's journey. In the end, we will move on to other places, or return to our old homes, starting over with new endings or beginning entirely new stories.

We may forget each other for a moment and continue with our lives. But those days in Northumbria will always be the most beautiful memories, because we met there, learning the value of those who stayed behind, those who left, and the deeper meaning of life and human connections in foreign lands... We learned and gained so much from one another. And those will always be the happiest days we lived. So, whenever we hold "Don't Call Me a Memory" in our hands, our hearts will beat wildly, as we recall that beautiful and difficult chapter of our lives...

"Like a Dewy Blossom" is Gào's first novel, marking her return after seven years. Seven years ago, she was one of the hottest young authors, with bestselling works like *Hoa Linh Lan* and *Anh Sẽ Yêu Em Mãi Chứ* that sold tens of thousands of copies.

"Dear readers!

Some works carry messages that resonate with millions for centuries, while others fulfill their purpose by touching only the author themselves. In fact, most books fall into the latter category, which means that if they accidentally stir your emotions, make you think, or resonate with your feelings, that’s a beautiful thing, right?

When she sent me this manuscript, Gào shared that much of *Like a Dewy Blossom* was written during the COVID lockdown. Perhaps when most doors closed, the one locked within our hearts finally opened. But behind it, there weren’t soaring dreams; instead, there were shattered hopes. Through the broken pieces scattered on the cold floor, a new worldview emerged, revealing that what once seemed important is often meaningless, and what appeared insignificant is the clearest expression of emotion.

Like the character Quang says: "I like you, so I know," I believe this simple understanding is often "taken for granted" by people, who then move on endlessly. Genuine hopelessness is rarely appreciated.

Every choice made by one person inevitably changes the path of another. Just like the characters in this story, we may sometimes wonder whether our actions are truly an expression of free will, or if, in the grand scheme of life, the background and broad outlines have already been determined by the past, continuing toward the future. Are we players in this game, or mere pawns? A player will always have another game, another chance. But a pawn, silently moving according to predetermined rules, can only go forward or backward—such a tragic existence.

"If you keep moving forward, a path will open, and a place will be found." The destination’s location or the time it takes to get there might not matter as much as what we discover along the way. This is why I love works where the character’s journey challenges how they perceive the world, people, and happiness... If this is achieved, then any ending feels timely and true.

If we accept the preordained, we will inevitably end up collecting the emotions we've lost.

Some flowers are not meant to be picked, and some games are not meant to be played."

The book "Will You Love Me Forever?" gathers some of Gào’s most striking short stories. It tells tales of love, but at the same time, exposes the harsh truths of life.

The stories in *Will You Love Me Forever?* will make us treasure our youth even more. Even when faced with setbacks, despair, or loneliness, we are reminded that life goes on—we must rise above and grow. Focusing on the hidden corners of human emotion, Gào has succeeded in precisely naming the fragile hearts that often disguise themselves with rough, arrogant exteriors in her works.

*Lily of the Valley* is a romance novel by Gào, containing not only love stories but also life lessons and fresh perspectives through the imagery of a flower. The book reads like a semi-autobiographical collection of essays, chronicling the author’s life as it spans six years, from her teenage years to her experience as a young mother.

"I used to feel confused by the world I lived in. A world full of lonely people hidden within small bodies. A noisy era, yet filled with silent individuals. Ah, loneliness, it turns out, is a feeling everyone has experienced: Being alone amidst a crowd. *Lily of the Valley* was written in early 2008, at a time when I struggled to find my way in a world that overwhelmed me—just a girl in her twenties, uncertain how to truly take control of my own life."

Nearly six years have passed, and now I am a mother. The world no longer feels unfamiliar the way it did when I first stepped into adulthood. I began to write the conclusion of that story on a mature afternoon, after years of being left unfinished. Six years have brought about more changes than one might imagine. The thoughts of yesterday, combined with time, have evolved into something different today.

Reading *Lily of the Valley* and being patient with its unfolding, you will find fragments of hope, growth, and even fragility amidst the strength of each character’s experiences. You will feel a strange sense of familiarity with your own painful past, yet filled with hope. A feeling that, with eyes closed, you could almost reach the endless blue sky.
