A beautiful, powerful and utterly devastating novel from
Orange-prize shortlisted author Georgina Harding 'Georgina
Harding's novel is the finely tuned work of a writer exceptionally
at ease with her craft and a testament to the power and poetry of
clean and disciplined prose' Guardian The memory of war will stay
with a man longer than anything else. Dawn, mist clearing over rice
fields, a burning Vietnamese village, and a young photographer
takes the shot that might make his career. The image, of a staring
soldier in the midst of mayhem, will become one of the great
photographs of the war. But what Jonathan has seen in that village
is more than he can bear... He flees to Japan, to lose himself in
the vastness of Tokyo, and to take different kinds of pictures: of
streets and crowds and cherry blossom - and of a girl with whom he
is no longer lost. Yet even here his history will catch up with
him: that photograph and his responsibility in taking it; his
responsibility as a witness to war, and to other events buried deep
in his past. The first in Harding's cycle of acclaimed novels on
themes of witness, memory and silence, The Gun Room is beautiful,
powerful and utterly devastating.
