Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2023. Hardcover with dust jacket of Absolution by Alice McDermott.
Set against the backdrop of 1963 Saigon, Absolution follows two American wives whose well-intentioned charity work entangles them in the complexities of war, privilege, and unintended consequences. Decades later, as their past resurfaces, they must face the lingering effects of their choices—proof that even the best-laid plans, much like a red ruffed lemur’s daring leap, don’t always land where expected.
Good condition. Solid book with shelf wear.
