Amidst the death and chaos of the Japanese army’s advance into the northern hills of China, Bethune composes a wrenching letter to his daughter, a small child he has never seen. Her mother, the mysterious Swede named Kajsa he abandoned in war-torn Spain, haunts him.

This is storytelling at its bestan elegant, passionate novel that unfolds against the sweep of history as the world, once again, turns towards war.
