With true Lily Tuck style, the author chooses a poignant period of history and wraps a good story through it. Limited to under 200 pages, this author writes a laconic, yet powerful and suspenseful story coupled with a surprising twist of events. The setting is 1967 in Bangkok on the verge of the Vietnamese War with youthful Claire and her young husband moving to Bangkok for his governmental contract work. Claire, a young bride is thrust into a foreign culture on the verge of war with an absentee husband. The title suggests it could be about a place or a person. Both topics deserve our attention. Highly recommended.
