Review: Read it because you must ! - This book is certainly worthy of the Booker. It is essentially a wartime story of love, focussing on the many aspects of war and love thereby revealing how one becomes the other (e.g., when Dorrigo discovers that Amy is alive but fights not to reach her, or she him). The imagery used in the descriptions of the POWs on the Death Railway construction is very vivid and haunting, leaving the reader shocked at both the tragedy of humanity as well as its will to survive in the the most unbelievable torture. A striking feature of this masterpiece is that it focuses on the individual lives of the POWs and the Japanese commanders after the war, knitting it all together in the tragic love of Dorrigo and Amy. Their acceptance of the status quo echoes the tragedy of the Japanese society to accept, unquestionably, the will of their Emperor. Just as the Nakamura does not, even for a moment, entertain the thought that possibly the Japanese spirit is misguided, similarly Dorrigo and Amy refuse to accept how desperately one seeks union with the other. The book is achronological- shuffling back and forth in principally three time domains : Before the War (Dorrigo and Amy are in focus here), During the War (the lives of the POWs), and After the War (the remnants of the POWs lives). The language is rich with expressions defining its prose structure on poetry; each of the five parts of this book start with a haiku by either Basho or Issa. Poetry becomes the life of the good (Dorrigo), the evil (Kota), the good-evil (Nakamura), so much so that each of them have their deaths in poetry, one way or another. Conclusion: Do read this book. Not only does it acquaint you with a forgotten tragedy of World War II but also draws on the important themes of love, megalomania, death, and oblivion.
Review: Glorious - I had no words to thank desertcart this time.... Last times I got some books from desertcart but due to the bad packaging, I was soo disappointed..... Coming to the book... HARDCOVER The book is a gem 💎...... Magnificent... Please give it a read 📖
