Interesting book about the US's early years in Vietnam. The characterizations are compelling. I found the story a little confusing at times, because of the way it skipped around in time. But all in all, a great book.
Maureen Corrigan's summary:
The main character is a newlywed, a young wife who is pulled into this group of women who are doing charitable work in Vietnam while their husbands are busy doing something else. And without being heavy-handed, McDermott manages to make a connection between the insistent charity of these women and early American intervention in Vietnam.
