The definitive novel about the personal aftermath of war from the standpoint of the conquered, not the victors, and one of the only ones written from a woman's point of view. I was mesmerized by the story of these Vietnamese survivors and their attempt to come to terms with searing memories and PTSD, as they try to make a new life in America. I loved the author's previous book, MONKEY BRIDGE, and this one fulfills that promise. You'll never look at the Vietnam war, or any war for that matter, in the same way again. A real game-changer for me.
