內容簡介: |
June Han has forged a life thousands of miles from her
birthplace: she has built a business in New York, survived a
husband, borne a child. But her past holds more secrets than she
has ever been able to tell, and thirty years after her escape from
war-ravaged Korea, the time has come for her to confront them.
Hector Brennan, fighter, drinker and ''failure grand and total'', is
the man who long ago saved June''s life. And between them lies the
story of the beautiful, damaged Sylvie Tanner, whose elusive love
they both once sought. On a journey that takes them from the
scorched hillsides and abandoned rice paddies of a shattered Korea
to a blood-soaked century-old Italian battlefield, together June
and Hector go in search of their past, bound together by a legacy
of shocking acts of violence and love. Compelling, suspenseful and
unforgettable, THE SURRENDERED is a stunning epic of war,
redemption and human longing. It is a masterpiece.
