I am doing this post and realize I read the WRONG book! LOL! It has the same title as the one that Mustich says you should read.
It was a very good book, and the title comes from the book that is referred to in this book.
This one is about an Australian in a POW camp. It is exquisitely written but has some parts that made me physically ill!
I am still laughing that I didn't read the one on the list!
Here is the summary by Amazon:
A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
