Description
A Single Swallow: A Novel by Zhang Ling Seventy years after the end of World War II, three men are reunited in their hometown to fulfill a promise made on the day of Japan's surrender. Their pact is simple: each year, they will return to this village on the anniversary of the broadcast, and their souls will reunite with those of loved ones who had passed away. Now, Pastor Billy, Ian Ferguson, and Liu Zhaohu have come together once more, driven by a shared desire to remember Ah Yan, the woman who touched their lives so profoundly during the war. As they reflect on their pasts, the story of Ah Yan's life begins to take shape, woven from the memories of those who knew her. A woman who had suffered unimaginable atrocities, yet found strength and dignity in the face of unspeakable horrors, Ah Yan was the one who brought these men together. Her spark of humanity remains, giving them the courage to confront their pasts and remember the woman they lost. This poignant novel explores the devastating impact of war on individuals and communities, and the enduring power of love and forgiveness in the face of unimaginable suffering.
