Lady Borton

Last updated

Lady Borton is a Quaker author and journalist. During the Vietnam War she volunteered for the American Friends Service Committee and then lived in Vietnam for many years. She was one of the few westerners who was allowed to live there after the end of the Vietnam war due to her works being sympathetic to the communist regime. Her works include After Sorrow – an account of her time in Vietnam and the people there. [1] [2]
