Review: SHOOTING THE MOON by Francis O’Roark Dowell

Biblio File recently read and reviewed Shooting the Moon by Francis O’Roark Dowell for the Vietnam War Reading Challenge.  Check out this excerpt:

This is a short, slight book. It’s quiet, but it stays with you. Not a lot happens. It’s summer, Jamie plays cards and develops film. She flashes back to when her brother enlisted up until the day he shipped out. Despite the lack of plot, we see a lot of growth in Jamie, and how she views the her father, her brother, the army, and war.
