Northern Lights

The action in โNorthern Lightsโ takes place not in Vietnam but back in the USA, as Tim OโBrien explores the after-effects of that war โ on those who served, and those they left behind.
Set in the frozen wilderness of north Minnesota, it concerns two brothers, one who served in Vietnam, and has returned tough, cynical and world-weary; and the other who stayed at home. When they take off on a long skiing trip together through the frozen woods, they quickly get lost in a blizzard, and are tested to their limits as they face a battle against the elements and each other.

Tim OโBrien was born in Minnesota and served as a foot soldier in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970, and after graduate studies at Harvard worked as a reporter for the Washington Post. When โIf I Die in a Combat Zoneโ was published in 1973, it established him as one of the leading American writers of his generation, a status that was confirmed when โGoing After Cacciatoโ won the National Book Award for fiction.
