Description
Set against the final months of the Second World War, this richly layered novel follows lives unfolding across New Guinea, the United States and Japan. An Australian nurse reconnects with a former love amid a brutal jungle campaign, while scientists at Los Alamos pursue a weapon they hope will end all wars and a Japanese woman struggles to safeguard her family and traditions. As their stories converge through history’s immense moral and human pressures, the novel explores love, friendship, belonging, independence and the consequences of choices made in the name of peace. Intricate, compassionate and deeply atmospheric, it asks whether individual acts can matter in a world transformed by violence—and how profoundly connected people remain across borders and cultures.
