O'Brien is very creative with the pacing and style in which he writes this book. It really reflects on the high cost of war upon a person. Although it refers to the main character's past in the Vietnam war, the strong references to PTSD and other difficulties are still very much something people can relate to today.

Tim O\'Brien makes you think.


One of the best books of 1994, but timeless. Harrowing tale of history suppressed and the impact on a marriage. Highly recommended


What a fabulous book. Keeps you going up till the end. Made me fall in love with this author
