Description

"Thoroughly engrossing and atmospheric....A Season In Saigon is a winner." Midwest Book Review 1968. When an honest mistake shreds her professional reputation, fashion writer Tallis Reed buys a one-way ticket to Saigon, determined to salvage her career and to make a difference by reporting the war's hidden stories. But in a wary city teeming with refugees and orphans, soldiers and spies, truth is elusive and danger is an ever-present shadow. The last thing she expects is to fall in love with Nick Landry, a doctor volunteering in a remote provincial hospital. Ruggedly handsome and intensely private, Nick has come to Saigon for reasons of his own. Their quiet attraction deepens into love but both are bound by past mistakes and obligations. Lost on the rainy streets of the foreign city, Tallis is rescued by seasoned reporter Geri Fielding and the two form a deep friendship. But it falls to Tallis to complete Geri's reporting on a military operation gone wrong. Alone in Saigon as the brutal jungle war rages on, Tallis embarks on a search for justice, a search that will test everything she believes about honor. About friendship and love. Inspired by true events, A Season In Saigon is about one young woman gone to war, but it illuminates the all-but-forgotten experiences of the women who fought to report their stories and to reaffirm the importance of a free and independent press. It is at once an adventure tale and a sweet love story that adds a new chapter to the story of the American experience in Vietnam.
