« On a weft a thousand times wound, with the subtlety of a silk weaver, she unfolds the treasures of the poetic imagination to tell the most tragic of stories. A gentle violence emanates from her text capturing the reader’s attention from beginning to end. » - Jean-Christophe Buisson, Le Figaro Magazine

« These ‘Soft Shadows’ are enclosed within a devastating and strangely tranquil beauty ; the spectacle of nature brought about by Hoai Huong Nguyen as she renders shifting patterns of beauty through poetry is staggering, and the notion that such powerful feelings may be kindled from within our tiny lives is appeasing. » - Jeanne de Ménibus, ELLE
