Paradise of the Blind (Những thiên đường mù) is a novel by writer Dương Thu Hương, published in 1988.

Paradise of the Blind follows a non-linear, vertical plot depicting the development of Hang, the narrator, through several life-changing events.

An adult Hang in the 1980s receives a telegram stating that her uncle, Chinh, is ill and that she must visit him in Moscow.

While she is waiting to leave Russia for Vietnam, she sees a group of young Japanese students who are happy and laughing and free.

She resolves to do what it is that makes her happy—because her duty to her mother, who would sacrifice her own daughter to help her corrupt brother—is not happiness.
