Me too. At first I wondered if I would like the book, but I ended up loving it.Shanesha Sammerson wrote: ↑03 Aug 2022, 09:40 I didn't expect to like this book that much but I gave it a try and I am glad I did. One main part that touched me was the death of the old man and the emotions the wife was feeling. I too am married and felt scared to know that one day one of us will have to deal with a similar loss.

I too sympathized with Roxy and disliked her at other times. That aside, I felt angry on behalf of the victims of the Vietnamese war.Anne Lucas wrote: ↑03 Aug 2022, 01:43 I have read quite a few books on the war of Vietnam, but this one was different. It was neither a mere description, nor focused on politics. It was focused on emotions and views of people living in that time. It stirred my emotions and provoked numerous thoughts in my head. I sympathized with Roxy at a few points and disliked her at others. Same with Steve. This book was a roller coaster ride for me. What did it made you feel?
