In Country
Author: Bobbie Ann Mason
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This book really spoke to the heart of a person who was a 18 yr old at the time of the Vietnam War. It is fiction...but not to the heart of this person who lost 11 friends in Vietnam.

This is the story of a young woman whose father died in the Vietnam War before she was born. Her quest to learn more about her father, other veterans, and the psychological and moral fallout allows the heart to find some peace. The book was made in to a movie...many of the reviews said it not only help attain personal reconciliation, but national reconciliation.
