When She Sleeps

A moving, riveting and superbly written novel. An U.S. army surgeon leaves behind a wife and young daughter when he's sent to Vietnam. There, he falls in love with a beautiful young linguist, Linh. They have a daughter, but he abandons them during the fall of Saigon. Told both from the perspective of illegimate Mai, and Lucy, the West Coast daughter, who is now a teenager trying to understand the secret threatening her parents' happiness, we see how through dreams the sisters slowly erode the physical divide between them. There is a brilliant and startling finale.Leora Krygier is the author of 'When She Sleeps' with ISBN 9781592640867 and ISBN 1592640869.
