Sobre este título
'Resonant and provocative' VOGUE
'One of my favourite authors' NATALIE PORTMAN
I did not remember a Rouenna Zycinski. I was sure I had never known her. But many years ago, according to her letter, we had been neighbors in the same public housing project, on Staten Island.
A writer receives a letter from an old acquaintance, recalling their shared childhood and asking if they can meet. Though fascinated by the stories Rouenna tells about her life as a combat nurse in Vietnam, the narrator flatly declines her request that they collaborate on a memoir. It is only later, in the aftermath of Rouenna's shocking death, that the narrator is drawn to write about her friend - and her friend's war. Writing Rouenna's story becomes all-consuming: at once a necessity and the only consolation.
'For Rouenna is about everything: war and remembrance, how we invent our "selves" and why; why we kill ourselves - or live. I was dazzled by this book' WASHINGTON POST
'Beautifully written . . . mesmerizing . . . enthralling' O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE
'An entirely different kind of war novel . . . What emerges is something that feels like truth' SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE©2026 Sigrid Nunez (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited
