Able, bored and just down from Cambridge in the summer of 1937, Sally Marsden contemplates her future without enthusiasm. So many have assumed she will marry Hugh Jerrold, it is, practically, an engagement. On a trip to China to see Hugh, Sally is soon caught up in the Sino-Japanese War.

Review:
"Galbraith has a confident ear for the language of the time, and makes canny use of historical detail... He orchestrates the whole with structural flair and cinematic snappiness... Galbraith is to be commended for retelling, with urgency and clarity, events which have been variously ignored, forgotten and denied" (Guardian)
"Remarkable... His research is impeccable, his take on the period detailed but never dull. He has a cinematographer's eye for the compelling image, and an obvious gift for storytelling" (Glasgow Herald)
"Reads effortlessly, like a feature film unspooling in the mind: an epic full of war and all its horrors" (Scotsman)
"Humane, judicious, beautifully written... His measured prose is distinguished by the lovely phrase and the haunting cadence, and a painterly eye for detail" (Sunday Herald)
