€œNothing since Cormac McCarthy€s The Road has shaken me like this.€ €"The Washington Post
From the author of the acclaimed Gould€s Book of Fish, a magisterial novel of love and war that traces the life of one man from World War II to the present.  August, 1943: Australian surgeon Dorrigo Evans is haunted by his affair with his uncle€s young wife two years earlier. His life, in a brutal Japanese POW camp on the Thai-Burma Death Railway, is a daily struggle to save the men under his command. Until he receives a letter that will change him forever.  A savagely beautiful novel about the many forms of good and evil, of truth and transcendence, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.
