This book contains two novellas and three short stories by Stephen King. The five parts are interlocking. In chronological order, through the alternating narratives of different perspectives and different protagonists, they jointly reflect the turmoil and changes in American social and political culture from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Vivid and vivid fragments fluctuate in this historical torrent: Bobby's betrayal in childhood, Pete's awakening in the "War of Hearts", Sally's nightmare in the jungle of Vietnam... The narrative may seem calm, but it is full of thriller and suspense foreshadowing, hiding the power of shocking people.
