After my first book was published, the narrator tells us, I received some letters. Among them is one from a Rouenna Zycinski, asking to meet. Though fascinated by the stories Rouenna tells about her life as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator flatly declines her request that they collaborate on a memoir. Later, however, in the aftermath of Rouennas shocking death, she is compelled to write about her friendand her friends war. An unforgettable novel about truth, memory, and unexpected heroism.
