The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Flanagan, Richard

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER - A magisterial novel of love and war that traces the life of one man from World War II to the present.

"Magnificent."--The New York Times Book Review

"Nothing short of a masterpiece." --Financial Times

August, 1943: Australian surgeon Dorrigo Evans is haunted by his affair with his uncle's young wife two years earlier. His life, in a brutal Japanese POW camp on the Thai-Burma Death Railway, is a daily struggle to save the men under his command. Until he receives a letter that will change him forever.

A savagely beautiful novel about the many forms of good and evil, of truth and transcendence, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.
