A Hundred Suns by Karin Tanabe. “A transporting historical novel with a dash of suspense, set in 1930s Indochine. A young American woman, Jessie Lesage, journeys to Vietnam with her French husband, a Michelin heir, so that he can run the rubber plantations that fuel the family business. While there, she is swept up in the exotic glamour of expat life––as well as the darker sides of colonialism.”
