The authorial voice is extraordinarily good and made this novel totally immersive. In its story of two men caught up in wars - in the Pacific, Vietnam and the Cold War - everything feels impossibly real. Once again one is reminded there are no victors,, only the vanquished. The characters are so powerfully realized that I soon found their plight quite emotionally challenging and the ending is something I will never forget.
