Description
A searing historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence. The city's citizens, with their heroic efforts, halted the Japanese invaders. The story weaves together multiple narratives, including the tale of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile refugee death-march, and the experiences of Lao She, China's greatest writer, as he leaves his family to assist with propaganda in Wuhan. The book also explores the hellish battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war and the approaching global conflict through various colourful characters. From Chiang Kai-Shek, China's nationalist leader, to a British journalist based in Wuhan, this historical fiction epic pulls no punches, revealing the horrors of war and the moral challenges it poses.
