Much of the book takes place in a Japanese POW camp on the Thai-Burma death railway, and it centers mainly on Australian soldiers, particularly a young surgeon. The author's psychologically astute insights into the characters--so that a reader can understand even the most unlikable of individualss--and the brilliant writing made me like the book, although it was such a tragic story.
