Review:
"* 'Extraordinary... A pure pleasure. After finishing the last page, one cannot but ponder over the depth and complexity of the author's vision.' Ha.Jin, author of Waiting and Ocean of Words * 'An amazing achievement... The China Lover is an extraordinary novel, brilliantly imagined and utterly convincing... This is a novel that demands to be read.' Lesley Downer, author of The Last Concubine"
Book Description:

Ian Buruma's epic novel is the richly imagined story of one woman's struggle to survive in the face of war and occupation in the Far East during the Second World War. It should appeal to anyone who loved Memoirs of a Geisha.

'Spare, elegant... Buruma's writing is wonderful... So beautifully executed that the reader is swept along.' Vanora Bennett, The Times
