Author Event with Alice K. Boatwright

Edmonds Bookshop will host an event during June Art Walk with local author Alice K. Boatwright, who will be discussing the new edition of her book Shadows of Vietnam (originally published as Collateral Damage in 2012.) The release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the US's final departure from Vietnam in April 1975, and retells aspects of that divided era through three linked novellas.

“Shadows of Vietnam is powerful, poignant, and eloquent. Each of the novellas is told from a different perspective, forming a richer and more layered tapestry of that too-long war. It ends with light and hope for any who progress beyond darkness, bullets, and despair.”
—Curt Colbert, author of All Along the Watchtower
