Today’s book of the indeterminate period of time is December 6 by Martin Cruz Smith
I’ve just finished reading this book and enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided to add another stream to this blog.
Martin Cruz Smith has taken his readers to Russia and Cuba in his earlier books, and here he takes us to Japan on the eve of Pearl Harbour. The research behind this excellent writing really brings the time and place to life.
I say:
Imagine Casablanca’s Rick Blaine transported to Tokyo and reborn as Harry Niles, the Japanese self-raised son of American missionaries. A good man behind the facade of a gambler.
