A sweeping and suspenseful novel of love and war, set in Japan during the tense final weeks of WWII, that calls to mind classic bestsellers of yesteryear—think Cold Mountain, From Here to Eternity, Gone with the Wind—and comes with an incredible backstory that rivals those of Karl Marlantes (Matterhorn) and T. J. Newman (Falling): The author, now 63 years old, persevered over 28 years and five rewrites to complete and publish this book.
