Book Review of The Great Fire

The Great Fire
The Great Fire
Author: Shirley Hazzard
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover


A hypnotic novel that unfolds like a dream: Japan, Southeast Asia, the end of one war and the beginning of another, and in the center of it--a love story. Set in 1947, it is a story of love and separation, of disillusion and recovered humanity. By the author of 'The Transit of Venus.'
