Plot

The novel follows Paxton Andrews, who is stationed in Vietnam as a journalist during the Vietnam War, focusing on the men she encounters and how her life and the lives of the people she encounters are changed forever.

Andrews has been heartbroken many times, having lost her father, two lovers, and a nanny to whom she was close. These tragedies have left her hopeless and despairing, but by going to Saigon for a third time she finds a love that will not fade away.[1]

Reception

The book was described by Publishers Weekly to be an "audacious and ill-conceived departure from her usual glitzy settings".[2]

Film adaptation

The novel was adapted into a TV movie directed by Paul Wendkos that was broadcast on NBC on October 17, 1993.
