He retreats to a small town where Henry, the father of his fallen Vietnam comrade, has a home on the shore of a man-made lake. When Napoleon's daughter arrives, fleeing troubles of her own, she finds her father in the dark twilight of his life, wrapped in the fog of alcoholism. With love and insatiable curiosity, she devotes herself to learning the truth about his life, discovering not just the details of his Vietnam experience but also the palimpsest that memory makes and the distance between a lived experience and our telling it.--From front inside jacket.
