Reviews

 ‘..this extraordinary novel’s centrepiece is the rape of Nanking in 1937… what makes this book so completely absorbing is Meira Chand’s own scrupulous and unflinching  analysis of the Japanese character…a marvellously researched and impressively well written novel.’ Frances Donelly. The Times 17th February 1996.

Thorough in its research, ambitious in scope, Chand’s latest novel shows…her ability to evoke time and place with the most economical of means…Compelling, harrowing.’ Trevor Johnston, Time Out.

‘Ambitious and impressive.’ Margaret Drabble.

‘…her mastery of narrative is evident throughout.’ The Daily Telegraph. 8th March 1997
