Sommaire
Irene Wu has dedicated years of her life to researching the invasion of Nanking, China. Through the winter of 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army led a horrific campaign through the streets of China’s capital, an event that has been left unknown and untold to the world. Irene is on the brink of releasing her research when her publisher voices doubts about the book. Marjorie Chan’s gripping narrative intertwines the past and the present, transporting the reader between Irene and a small group of unlikely heroes caught in the invasion. Scrambling to create a refuge from the horror, the band’s struggle to survive binds them in a promise that will span the ages of time, while Irene struggles to reveal the truth despite her publisher’s conservative worries.a nanking winter brings the horror and endurance of a nation’s history into stark focus with breathtaking clarity and brutal honesty.
