When a stranger contacts Laura claiming to be her brother who disappeared forty years earlier when the family lived in Bangkok, Laura ignores Bea's warnings of a scam and flies to Thailand to see if it can be true. But meeting him in person leads to more questions than answers. Bangkok, 1972: Genevieve and Robert Preston live in a beautiful house behind a high wall, raising their three children with the help of a cadre of servants. In these exotic surroundings, Genevieve strives to create a semblance of the life they would have had at home in the US--ballet and riding classes for the children, impeccable dinner parties, a meticulously kept home. But in truth, Robert works for American intelligence, Genevieve finds herself drawn into a passionate affair with her husband's boss, and their serene household is vulnerable to unseen dangers in a rapidly changing world and a country they don't really understand. Alternating between past and present as all of the secrets are revealed, What Could Be Saved is an unforgettable novel about a family shattered by loss and betrayal, and the beauty that can exist even in the midst of brokenness"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Bangkok (Thailand) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014138.0 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011442.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231012023846.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014211.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20211030010442.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20211005010314.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210910010318.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210902010605.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014533.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14A6CC54E5FB11EB9DB2ACEA33ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
