This is the third post for #BookBingo2020 hosted by Theresa Smith Writes & Mrs B’s Book Reviews & The Book Muse
This month I have chosen the square Set in a time of war and I chose Going Home by Carole Brungar which is set during the Vietnam War.
New Zealand author Carole Brungar is able to write of an incredibly terrible time, the Vietnam War, in a very emotive and realistic way. I can always see myself there during those terrible times, whether in the jungle with the soldiers, in the helicopter flying into dangerous situations or at the hospital tending the children with horrific injuries. I can smell the smell and hear the sounds of everything that is going on during these chaotic and dangerous times.
This book, the third in the Return to Nam series, stories about the Vietnam War and the NZ soldiers, nurses, photographers and entertainers, who went there without knowing what the were flying into, takes us out of the jungle and into the town, where Ronnie has signed up to do a stint (12 months) as a nurse.

Until next month, happy reading.
I need to read more books on the Vietnam War. All my War fiction seem to be on WWII

You definitely need to read this series, I loved it. Before this series I’d read nothing on the Vietnam War.
