Description
The award winning writer of Waiting and Battle Garbage returns to his birthplace in a searing new book that unfurls during among the darkest times of the twentieth-century: the Rape of Nanjing. In 1937, using the Japanese set to occupy Nanjing, Minnie Vautrin—an American missionary and the dean of Jinling Women’s College—decides to stay in the college, persuaded that her American citizenship can help her guard the survival of the Chinese men and women who work-there. She's painfully mistaken. In the aftermath of the attack, the college becomes a refugee camp for significantly more than ten-thousand destitute kids and women, and Vautrin should wrestle, every single day, to intercede with respect to the hapless patients. Even if order and civility are ultimately renewed, Vautrin stays seriously embattled, and she's haunted by the lives she couldn't save.With terribly evocative accuracy, Ha Jin re creates the horror, the traumatic deprivations, and the nuisance of unforeseen assault that described life in Nanjing throughout the profession.
