It took almost half the book for me to be interested in the characters and what they were doing, but ultimately a satisfying read. Story of a female journalist in Vietnam during the war and what happens to her and her photographer after they are abducted by Viet Cong. Very moving relationships between this woman and two men in the story. No easy or clear cut answers to the predicaments presented. Engrossing novel tells the tale of a women's magazine correspondent reporting in country on the Vietnam War. A few months into her assignment, she and a colleague are captured by Viet Cong soldiers during an ambush and must call upon all of her mental and physical resources to survive. Her concepts of the VC soldiers, what she believed she knew about her friend and colleague, and the American and Viet Cong tatics of the never ending conflict are all called into question. Very good read!

Would have been a 4/5 star book, but the end was so disappointing.
