This was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it. thanks for letting me have an advance copy. I'm new to this author.

I haven’t read many novels related to the Vietnam War but I am really glad I read this one. The writing is fantastic and filled with insight into human nature. It’s a bit of a complicated interspersing of stories that is fairly easy to follow and not lose your way yet it made me feel a bit uneasy; I realized I was as uneasy as the characters were feeling in the book. As a reader I could keep track of the stories but I don’t know how the author kept track as he was writing it. There is constant interplay between current times and past experiences. One of the main characters has severe PTSD and the writing makes you feel as if you could see life through this character’s eyes. You understand what he is thinking and what he is seeing vs what is reality. It was very eye opening. The story delved deep into each family member and how and why the war effected them and their relationships without being political or preachy. And, on top of the insights shared it also had a very suspenseful ending. I highly recommend reading this book.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an early release of this book.
