It is about an American photo journalist during the Vietnam War, so maybe not quite without the American slant to it in terms of viewpoint. I hope you do get to The Night Parade. I still think of that one quite fondly. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-54573022055688901102018-04-14T21:07:10.171-07:002018-04-14T21:07:10.171-07:00Brian - I tend to read a lot of books set in the U...Brian - I tend to read a lot of books set in the United Kingdom as well.
