Lynne Amft (illustrator). NOISBN, New, tight binding, fine/fine - Book/dust cover, 1st Ed full # line Throughout his career, Chris Bohjalian has earned a reputation for writing novels that examine some of the most important issues of our time. With Midwives, he explored the literal and metaphoric place of birth in our culture. In The Buffalo Soldier, he introduced us to one of contemporary literature's most beloved foster children. And in Before You Know Kindness, he plumbed animal rights, gun control, and what it means to be a parent. Chris Bohjalian's riveting fiction keeps us awake deep into the night. As The New York Times has said, "Few writers can manipulate a plot with Bohjalian's grace and power." Now he is back with an ambitious new novel that travels between Jay Gatsby's Long Island and rural New England, between the Roaring Twenties and the twenty-first century. When college sophomore Laurel Estabrook is attacked while riding her bicycle through Vermont's back roads, her life is forever changed. Formerly outgoing, Laurel withdraws into her photography and begins to work at a homeless shelter. There she meets Bobbie Crocker, a man with a history of mental illness and a box of photographs that he won't let anyone see. When Bobbie dies suddenly, Laurel discovers that he was telling the truth: before he was homeless, Bobbie Crocker was a successful photographer who had indeed worked with such legends as Chuck Berry, Robert Frost, and Eartha Kitt. As Laurel's fascination with Bobbie's former life begins to merge into obsession, she becomes convinced that some of his photographs reveal a deeply hidden, dark family secret. Her search for the truth will lead her further from her old life?and into a cat-and-mouse game with pursuers who claim they want to save her. In this spellbinding literary thriller, rich with complex and compelling characters?including Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan?Chris Bohjalian takes readers on his most intriguing, most haunting, and most unforgettable journey yet.

Notes by Jane Barton Griffith, Robert Whitehurst, and Dang Kim Tram. "As much a drama of feelings as a drama of war." - Seth Mydans, New York Times. "If only I had wings to fly back to our beautiful house on Lo Duc Street, to eat with Dad, Mom, and my siblings, one simple meal with watercress and one night's sleep under the old cotton blanket. Last night I dreamed of peace. I came back and saw everybody. Oh, the dream of peace and independence has burned in the hearts of thirty million people for so long." - Dang Thuy Tram, from the rear outer cover. "At the age of twenty-four, Dang Thuy Tram volunteered to serve as a doctor in a National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) battlefield hospital in the Quang Ngai Province. Two years later she was killed by American forces not far from where she worked. Written between 1968 and 1970, her diary speaks poignantly of her devotion to family and country, the horrors of war, her yearning for her high school sweetheart, and her struggle to prove herself worthy of Communist Party membership. At times raw, at times lyrical and youthfully sentimental, her voice transcends cultures to speak of her dignity and compassion in the face of the war's ceaseless fury. The American soldier who discovered the diary soon after Dr. Tram's death defied orders to burn all such materials and preserved it for thirty-five years, eventually returning a copy to Dr. Tram's elderly mother in Hanoi. The diary was soon published in Vietnam, where it became a huge bestseller and a national sensation. Translated by Andrew X. Pham and with an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Frances FitzGerald, Last Night I Dreamed of Peace is an extraordinary document that narrates one woman's personal and political struggles. Above all, it is a story of hope in the most dire of circumstances - told from the perspective of our historic enemy but universal in its power to celebrate and mourn the fragility of human life." - from the inner front jacket flap.
