刻骨铭心

In the 1920s and 1930s Nanjing stands at the heart of China's upheavals, from the warlord wars to the Japanese invasion. The novel moves through every layer of the city's society, pushing the familiar historical events into the background and putting invented characters at the centre of the stage, so that the youth, ambitions, loves, friendships and grief of ordinary people play out against the turmoil of the age.
