A powerful novel of heroism, truth, and memory details the unlikely friendship between a writer and a retired army nurse named Rouenna Zycinski, who tells the writer of her many experiences as a combat nurse in Vietnam, and after Rouenna's tragic death, the writer must share her story with world in order to heal from the pain of loss.
Review:
"[A] moving tale about the unlikely friendship between a recently successful young writer and the old neighbor who seeks her."
Kirkus, 09/23/2001
Review:"Those who have been to Vietnam will find the writing here powerfully evocative....This question of life-saving preoccupies Nunez's novel. The narrator can't set bones or clean wounds, but she can tell the story of someone who did. She can save life by preserving it, by recording it. Those of us who aren't firemen or nurses or doctors have been feeling a little lost since Sept. 11--what are we meant to do with ourselves? Nunez's book tells us just what to do: pay attention to the stories of those who have seen the blood."
Claire Dederer, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), 11/11/2001

For Rouenna (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780312420635) Nunez, Sigrid Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Picador USA, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 200 x 160 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. From one of the most celebrated novelists of her generation, the story of a woman in the Vietnam War "After my first book was published, I received some letters." So begins Sigrid Nunez's haunting novel about the poignant and unusual friendship between a writer and a retired army nurse who seeks her out decades after their childhood in the same housing project. Among the letters the narrator receives is one from a Rouenna Zycinski, recalling their old connection and asking if they can meet.Though fascinated by the stories Rouenna tells about her life as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator flatly declines her request that they collaborate on a memoir. It is only later, in the aftermath of Rouenna's shocking death, that the narrator is drawn to write about her friend--and her friend's war. Writing Rouenna's story becomes all-consuming, at once a necessity and the only consolation. "For Rouenna," an unforgettable novel about truth, memory, and unexpected heroism by one of the most gifted writers of her generation, is also a remarkable and surprising new look at war.
