“No one needs telling even once that war is a horrible business for everyone involved, during and after, but sometimes it’s good to be told in a way that is painfully beautiful and moving. As this book is.” zendik
“I don’t think I have ever read a book like it. The harrowing descriptions of the POWs’ existence in Burma juxtaposed with a passionate but ill-fated love affair said so much to me about the potential of human experience to be at once beautiful and terrible; I have felt haunted by it ever since.” philojo
“Literary quality of the writing combined with ethical philosophy and believable characterisation. Great historical fiction.” 100blague
