Tricia is a starry-eyed newlywed, married to a rising oil engineer "on loan" to US Navy Intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a talented hostess and determined altruist, on a mission to relieve the "wretchedness" she sees all around her. When Tricia miscarries, Charlene sweeps her into a cabal of well-dressed do-gooder American wives. Armed with baskets filled with candy and toys, they descend on hospitals, orphanages, and a leper colony on the coast, determined to relieve suffering, no matter the cost. Sixty years later, Charlene's daughter reaches out to Tricia, now widowed and living in Washington. As the two relive their shared experience in Saigon, they are forced to come to terms with the ways their own lives have been shaped and stunted by Charlene's pursuit of "inconsequential good." 650 0 $a Americans $z Vietnam $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Military spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wives $v Fiction. 650 6 $a AmitieÌ feÌminine $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Militaires $x Conjoints $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Guerre du VieÌt-nam, 1961-1975 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Femmes marieÌes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Wives $2 fast 650 7 $a Americans $2 fast 650 7 $a Female friendship $2 fast 650 7 $a Military spouses $2 fast 651 7 $a Vietnam $2 fast 648 7 $a 1961-1975 $2 fast 650 7 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Spouses $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240621131209.0 $n 18 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B998B0F22F9911EF97908F8E36ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
