Two weeks earlier, at the Resistance camp in the mountains, he had received news that Tuyet had delivered a healthy baby boy at the town’s hospital. She had told him that she would be staying with the adoptive family for a few weeks until the baby settled with the wet nurse. It had never occurred to her to have an abortion; perhaps, he thought, she had wanted him to urge her to keep the baby. He had never suggested it, and he had never told her of the storm that raged in his heart or of his vow of revenge.
Is this why this book was chosen? A man’s commentary on abortion? So… not only did she have to birth a baby that was the product of rape, but then she had to stay and nurse the baby for weeks before ultimately leaving the child with an adoptive family?!
