Description

A 1960s Saigon-set novel exploring the lives of American wives and their experiences during the Vietnam War. Tricia and Charlene form an unlikely alliance as they navigate the pressures of being respectable wives for their ambitious husbands, while also pursuing their own desires to "do good". Sixty years later, their daughter discovers a connection between her mother's past and the war, leading them both to reflect on the unintended consequences of America's involvement in Southeast Asia.

This novel delves into themes of folly, grace, obligation, sacrifice, and the quest for absolution in a broken world. Through the lens of these women's lives, the author sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of those who lived through this pivotal moment in history.
