Produktbeschreibung
Captain Simon Stilwell, fighter pilot, is captured after being shot down on a North Vietnamese bombing mission. A decorated hero, he escapes the Hanoi Hilton prison, but at home, he is plagued by demons... Did he actually murder a hundred schoolchildren on a mission gone wrong? He cannot accept "hero" status with these unanswered questions haunting him, and he must come to grips with the fact that he may be guilty of mass murder... Simon's wife, Selina, is dealing with her own demons revolving around the birth of their son and mounting guilt of questionable loyalties and infidelity. Simon isn't the same man she loved and who fathered their son. He drinks; they fight; he leaves. She's at a loss for answers. Enter the "other woman" Jan, who kept Simon sane and motivated him to escape the horrors of prison by writing numerous letters to him, of which he is given only two. Jan is a beautiful exotic dancer in an L.A. bar. After dancing she comes home, gets high, and writes letters to a POW seven thousand miles away in prison-he may be alive; he may be dead. But when she's dancing she wears only one thing: a sparkling silver bracelet with a POW's name on it. The Silver Bracelet is a gripping novel, a love story entangled with the Vietnam experience-and the crushing aftermath on one man and his family.

Autorenporträt
George Augustus Moore (1852 - 1933) was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. Moore came from a Roman Catholic landed family in County Mayo. He originally wanted to be a painter, and studied art in Paris during the 1870s. There, he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day. As a naturalistic writer, he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of Émile Zola.
