Description

Eden is a small back room in Saigon. For five years it has been the only sanctuary for Clifford Wilkes, a deserter from the army, and his girlfriend Lanh. Lanh is an extraordinary woman whose love is enabling her to heal slowly from the wounds of her life as a prostitute, wounds inflicted by foreign troops and kept open by the extended occupation of her country.

Live with them, in their strange and intense world; feel their anxiety as the last opportunities for escape approach; race through the alleys of a crumbling city to the sound of helicopters hammering away in the distance, beating the retreat from this war-torn country.

Can the love of these two people survive outside the cultural vacuum of that back room? Butler's masterful rendering of their tragic story is immensely powerful and profound. A stunning first book by the future Pulitzer Prize-winner and one of the finest ever written about the American experience in Vietnam.
