Items related to Red Dream: An Exotic Novel
A melodrama set against the bloody palette of Vietnam's history. Vietnam, when it was French Indochina. Vietnam, when it was a country divided. A story punctuated with communists and coups, politicians and spies. The text is spiked with simple poetry that reads like the modern lyrics of a song. The pages are subtly laced with visual images. The Characters La Doctoresse Jade Minh, an exquisitely beautiful woman with a hole for a soul and a secret in her past. The mysterious Chou, the South Vietnamese embassy's slippery legal eagle who dabbles in skullduggery with the dangerous other side led by Ho Chi Minh, the charismatic leader known as the "Bringer of Light." A man who lusts after the delectable Jade Minh with a creative perversion. A man who makes secrets his business. The lovely Suzette, illegitimate child from a star-crossed union. Born half-French and half-Vietnamese, though she'd never stepped a foot in Asia. Abandoned by her alcoholic papa at a Catholic orphanage near Paris. Adopted into fearful America during the lead up to the Vietnam War. A runaway looking for love. A young woman following the dream of finding her identity. Her only clue: an old photo that she found secreted in her papa's things. Her search in Saigon for the real mother she's never seen, and her love for Thanh, a young South Vietnamese government official drafted into the ARVN (Army of the Republic of South Vietnam). And the war that ruins everything.

Book Description Condition: First edition, TPBO, Fine, Vancouver, B.C. Greatest Escapes:, 2002. First edition, TPBO, Fine, 321 pp. A first novel. One that our incredibly nice and bibliocentric salesperson says we absolutely must have and must read. Maybe that's because she knows we're suckers for first novels, maybe it's because it says "steamy and sensual" right here on the cover, but probably it's just because she read it and thought it was swell. ". . . Victoria Brook's gripping debut novel moves mellifluously between the sensual romance of fifties Paris, the hallucinogen heyday of sixties Seattle, and the steamy intrigue and louché of Vietnam. This passionate tale of a married Vietnamese beauty's attempt to escape the consequences of a tragic love affair, and the abandoned love child's quest for her roots, leads to an inexorable intertwining whose tantalizing unfolding builds, petal by petal, toward a brilliant and breathless denouncement.".
