Thank you for your detailed review. The Vietnam war doesn't feature much in English history so it is always something I am interested in hearing more about. I like it when different types of characters are interwoven in a story line to provide different perspectives of the same incidence. However, I would get annoyed by the errors.

Hi Jennifer, yes that's why I was so excited to read this book as it's not a topic I've seen. The errors did distract me a lot, but the captivating story kept me going.

What an interesting idea to write about the aftermath of the war from the points of view of three contrasting players. This sounds like the kind of book one could learn a lot from. It's a shame there were mistakes with character names - a common error, unfortunately.

That's it, Alice. I did learn so much from this book, which was, at times, quite confronting. The contrasting stories were definitely eye-opening.

Your review shows what this war caused. The theme not my favorite but, I enjoyed reading your perspective on the book and the story Stephen well written.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

Vietnam War has always intrigued me ever since I read one of the historical fiction books from a military perspective. I feel like I need more sources about this. This book was interesting because it provided the impact of the Vietnam War from three different perspectives, including the local population. Your review makes me even more eager to read this book. Thank you for writing this.
Your Sincerely
