## Description

The million-copy bestseller, which is a ground-breaking meditation on war, memory, imagination, and the redemptive power of storytelling.‘The Things They Carried’ is, on its surface, a sequence of award-winning stories about the madness of the Vietnam War; at the same time it has the cumulative power and unity of a novel, with recurring characters and interwoven strands of plot and theme.But while Vietnam is central to ‘The Things They Carried’, it is not simply a book about war. It is also a book about the human heart – about the terrible weight of those things we carry through our lives.

Review: Love the book - You don't get to hear a lot about these gems but such books deserve more promotion and appreciation. Amazing work.
Review: Great fluid writing style - The thing youll notice about the book is the writing style not coherent youd think but it still makes sense. I guess for a war story it is something that adds meaning to the book as compared to a straightforward narrative
