520 1  "Central Vietnam. 1975. A young peasant woman, happily 
       married to a successful farmer, returns to her house in 
       the countryside to find a thong of villagers assembled 
       around her gate. She learns that her first husband - who 
       reportedly died as a martyr and war hero many years 
       earlier - is in fact alive and has returned to claim her. 
       Faced with immense pressure from the community and the 
       Party authorities, she agrees to leave her second husband 
       and their son to live in a squalid shack with the 
       veteran." 
520 8  "This tragic twist of fate sets the stage for Duong Thu 
       Huong's tale of three individuals whose destinies are 
       inextricably linked and irrevocably altered by the 
       absurdity of war. As the riveting story unfolds, each of 
       the parties in this fateful love triangle struggles to 
       reconcile personal happiness with traditional values of 
       duty and selflessness. Together, these characters offer a 
       devastating portrait of a people sacrificed on the altar 
       of war and to a cult of heroism."--Jacket
