What Could Be Saved by Liese O'Halloran Schwarz
5.0
A family drama about an American family that spans time from 1972-2019 and takes place in Thailand and in the U.S.A. The family is full of secrets, and the tragedy of the youngest son going missing in Thailand in 1971 shapes the family member's lives and relationships with each other and others.
I thought this was a beautiful book about personal change, loneliness, regret, how we misperceive each other, impermanence, and love. I fell into this book so hard that I dreamt about it while I was reading it.
I'm not sure how historically accurate it was, but it is also about Thailand in 1971 and in years after, and it touches on the Vietnam war and other societal issues.
