Read this book quite fast. So much I didn't know. The chaos of jungle warfare must have been overwhelming. I know most Vietnam vets don't want to talk about their service to people who weren't there. So sad that the VA wouldn't help the Army Nurse Corps once they were home. Tragic. i recommend this book to everyone. Makes me want to read the true accounts of the nurse's experiences.

From the last line of the book, " You can go on loving people a long time after they have left you; you can love them every bit as much as you loved them when they were still here. Love lasts. Love grows stronger. Love lasts a lifetime, and beyond. "
A heartwarming book of love and friendship. A treasure to read.
By M. C. Beaton. 1997. Watched Ashley Jensen in the Acorn series about Agatha Raisin and was curious what went on in Cyprus that was alluded to in the tv series. Since they wanted all the series shot in the Cotswolds they skipped over the terrible tourist adventure. I liked the adventures that Sir Charles and Agatha got up to. A good listen with Penelope Keith as the narrator.

By Jessica Knoll. 2023. A fictionalized retelling of the Florida murders by Ted Bundy in 1978 from the viewpoint of the President of the sorority house. I read it in three days. Quite compelling. I lived on campus from 1970 to 1975 in Ohio, so I could relate to the time. The book highlights two different viewpoints, one from the sorority and one from Washington state, this time the viewpoint of a murder victim. I am glad I read it but it is very disturbing.
