About this Item

First edition. 208 pages. The book is firmly bound in clean dark blue cloth, lettered in gilt to the spine, the extremities are lightly bumped and rubbed. The text block is slightly foxed and age toned. The dust jacket is the original and not price clipped, it is lightly rubbed and marked with a few minor nicks and short closed tears to the edges. A remarkably ambitious contemporary romance, written by a British author, set during the ongoing Vietnam War, specifically around the time of the Tet Offensive, involving a young doctor who volunteers to serve in the conflict and becomes romantically involved with both an American and Viet Cong Colonel, somehow ending happily and with the message that love is stronger than war. It's well researched, with plenty of conflict detail, presumably gleaned from news reports of the period as I cannot find any indication that Taylor spent time in Vietnam herself. Quite uncommon.
