A multi-stranded historical epic set in China in 1937, when Wuhan
stood alone against a whirlwind of war and violence. 'Fletcher
impresses in this searing debut... Fletcher makes all his
characters realistic, even if they only appear briefly, and excels
at portraying the horrors of war and the moral challenges it poses.
Fans of J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun will be riveted'
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review 1937. CHINA IS AT WAR. Soldiers
of the Empire of Japan sweep through the country, killing and
displacing the millions who stand in their way. As vast swathes of
the country fall to the invaders, Wuhan, an industrial city in the
centre of China, is appointed wartime capital. While the rest of
the world looks the other way, the citizens of Wuhan stand alone
against a whirlwind of violence - transforming militarily,
educationally, medically and culturally. Their heroic efforts
halted the Japanese. Weaving together a multitude of narratives,
Wuhan is a historical fiction epic that pulls no punches: the
heart-in-mouth tale of a peasant family forced onto a thousand-mile
refugee death-march; the story of Lao She - China's greatest writer
- leaving his family in a war zone to assist with the propaganda
effort in Wuhan; the hellish battlefields of the Sino-Japanese war;
the approaching global conflict seen through a host of colourful
characters - from Chiang Kai-Shek, China's nationalist leader, to
Peter Fleming, a British journalist based in Wuhan and the
prototype for his younger brother Ian Fleming's James Bond.
