    • 2003

      Příběh z vietnamské války, kdy se americká doktorka setkává v džungli s tajemným Vietnamcem, který ji zasvětí do léčitelského umění. Elizabeth Ann Scarborough pojednává velmi zvláštním způsobem o vietnamské válce. A protože se jí sama zúčastnila, tak i když příběh není autobiografií, povedlo se jí nadmíru přesvědčivě přiblížit hrůzy vietnamské války a její dopady hlavně na civilní obyvatelstvo. Je to kniha, která ukazuje válku i jinak... Jako nezměrné hrdinství obyčejných lidí, kteří v hloubi duše nejsou hrdinové, ale okolnosti je donutí se jimi stát... Kniha by odměněna cenou Nebula 1989.
