Saigon, una novela dedicada a la que fue capital de Indochina, nos hace revivir la historia este pueblo durante gran parte del siglo XX; una historia que sirve de marco a un amor profundo entre dos seres separados por la geograf?a, la raza, la religi?n y la cultura. En 1925 a los quince anos de edad, Joseph Sherman llego por vez primera a Saigon. Era miembro de una expedici?n de caza organizada por su padre, senador en Estados Unidos. La funesta cacer?a que pone fin a la visita de la familia Sherman, cobra sin embargo un numero suficiente de piezas de caza mayor para adornar el museo Sherman en Washington. Fascinado por el hechizo avasallador de la Perla de Oriente, Joseph abandona Indochina, pero no sin haber sido testigo de la mas rica de todas sus colonias. Y el lector tiene oportunidad de comprobar el odio que arde en el coraz?n de los anamitas, pobladores de este pa?s que Occidente habr? de conocer muy pronto bajo el nombre de Viet Nam..
