A multi-stranded historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence.

A big, sprawling, angry novel... This is a very committed book, angry at Europe and America's indifference to China's suffering, shocked by the savagery of the conflict, awed by the resilience of the Chinese people. This is where WW2 began, years before the war reached Europe. An epic book about an epic conflict. Don't miss it'
