Klappentext zu „Absolution “
American women?American wives?have been mostly minor characters in the literature of the Vietnam War, but in Absolution they take center stage. Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era's mandate to be "helpmeets? to their ambitious husbands with their own inchoate impulse to "do good? for the people of Vietnam.
