Of Rice, Love and War

By Elana Sabharwal

Amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War, the line between loyalty and betrayal is blurred in this gripping romantic spy thriller.

Amelie, a French journalist born in colonial Indochina, navigates the treacherous landscape of espionage as a communist spy working for the North Vietnamese. Under the guidance of her handler, Tran, Amelie finds herself entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse, operating between Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.

When Amelie receives crucial evidence from a burned CIA operative in Bangkok, she becomes further embroiled in the war's chaos and her emotions are torn between two men: Magnus, a dashing Scottish reporter, and Tom, a charismatic American officer.

As the stakes heighten and allegiances are tested, Amelie must confront the devastating impact of violence on her life and the cost of loyalty, duty, and love. Can she survive the war, find love, and uncover the truth without losing herself in the process?
