About This Item
Houghton Mifflin, 1994. 1st ed. Glue remains at ep's where jacket was pasted down along with remains at fep else near fine in dust jacket. "O'Brien, winner of a National Book Award for Going After Cacciato (1978), has written his most accessible novel to date. John and Kathy Wade are a young, idealistic couple living the American Dream until John's bid for the U.S. Senate is trashed by media reports of his involvement in the infamous massacre at My Lai during the Vietnam War. Still very much in love but without direction for the first time in their marriage, John and Kathy flee to a remote cabin. When Kathy disappears without a trace, a massive but fruitless search ensues. Did John murder her or did she simply flee? O'Brien develops several maddeningly plausible explanations, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions in this dark but wonderful novel that should gain him a host of new fans." --Library Journal. First Edition. Hard Cover. NF/Fine. Book.
