Rezensionen

'1937. Ravenous Japanese armies are eating China alive, and the Great Black Dragon of War is prowling amongst the broken shards of a ruined society. The panoramic sweep and ambition of this brave, accomplished novel is overwhelming, as are the many voices - fictional and otherwise - raised on page after page. Wuhan takes us to the very heart of a collective agony, an extraordinary achievement for a debut novelist' Graham Hurley
