Washington, DC, 2019: Laura Preston is a reclusive artist at odds with her older sister Beatrice as their elegant, formidable mother slowly slides into dementia. 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 broken by loss and betrayal, and "a richly imagined page-turner that delivers twists alongside thought-provoking commentary" (Kirkus Reviews). 541 $d 20211215. 650 1 $a Brothers and sisters $x Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 $a Bangkok (Thailand) $v Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l BZPC851 $d 20220720181241.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220618010259.0 952 $l VJPB334 $d 20220107011614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9730F72E6F8711ECBB3FC45856ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
