The Narrow Road to the Deep North - Richard Flanagan

Winner of the Man Booker Prize Nothing since Cormac McCarthy's The Road has shaken me like this. -- The Washington Post In The Narrow Road to the Deep North , Richard Flanagan displays the gifts that have made him one of the most acclaimed writers of contemporary fiction. Moving deftly from a Japanese POW camp to present-day Australia, from the experiences of Dorrigo Evans and his fellow prisoners to that of the Japanese guards, this savagely beautiful novel tells a story of the many forms of love and death, of war and truth, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.
