An American Tune

"Barbara Shoup has written a rich and timely story about one generation's outrage and the long reverberations of secrets. Her plot has much to say about the tangle of responsibility and how an ill-advised war disrupts an intricate network of ordinary American lives. A striking and memorable novel warm, sage, and beautifully written." --Joan Silber, National Book Award finalist for Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories, and author of four other books of fiction--Lucky Us, In My Other Life, In the City, and Household Words--Joan Silber "National Book Award finalist for Ideas of Heaven: A Ring of Stories, and author of four other books of fiction--Lucky Us, In My Other Life, In the City, and Household Words "
