Siam, or, The woman who shot a man
a novel
by Lily Tuck
"Siam is a haunting novel of intrigue and lost innocence set in Thailand during the onset of the Vietnam conflict. It tells the story of Claire, the Boston bride of a government contractor based in Bangkok, who arrives in her new home on March 9, 1967, the day that U.S. planes start bombing North Vietnam from bases in Thailand.
At a dinner party soon afterwards, Claire meets and befriends Jim Thompson, the real-life American entrepreneur and founder of the Thai Silk Company, whose disappearance weeks later gives rise to many conflicting and disturbing theories. It is only a matter of time before Claire's search for the truth about Jim Thompson and her husband's activities brings about irrevocably tragic results."--BOOK JACKET.
