"Richard Flanagan is one of the most exciting novelists working anywhere, full stop."
The Age
The 2014 Man Booker Prize-Winning Novel
A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
August, 1943. In the despair of a Japanese POW camp on the Thai-Burma death railway, Australian surgeon Dorrigo Evans is haunted by his love affair with his uncle's young wife two years earlier. Struggling to save the men under his command from starvation, from cholera, from beatings, he receives a letter that will change his life forever.
This savagely beautiful novel is a story about the many forms of love and death, of war and truth, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.
"Flanagan can stop a reader's breath."
Los Angeles Times
"Mr Flanagan is a master of sleight of hand, adept at using words to conjure worlds, an indefatigable artist."
