Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 341 pages. A gripping and dangerous voyage of discovery for a mother and daughter in Vie tnam. It's devastating enough when Pru's husband confesses to a long term affa ir over what should have been a romantic dinner to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. Then when her daughter, Molly, announc…es she's leaving for Vietnam on a Gap Year project, Pru knows her comfortable family life is over for good. J ust as she's picking up the pieces, an email brings news that Molly has become i nvolved with a group of political activists and could be in serious danger. Arri ving in this beautiful but alien land, Pru embarks on a desperate search for her recalcitrant daughter. Totally out of her depth, she meets Ben, a veteran of th e US war. He's intelligent, funny, handsome, but damaged. Still haunted by the a trocities of that conflict nearly thirty years ago, he's never been able to let go of the country and the gentle people who inhabit it. Together they tackle cor rupt police, greedy property dealers and a ruthless local party cadre; and when eventually Pru finds her daughter, she also discovers an inner strength she neve r knew she had.
