Yan Geling The Flowers of War
Father Englemann presides over a church in Nanjing during the Japanese invasion, and hopes to maintain it as neutral ground, to protect the schoolgirls taking refuge there. But he and his deacon Fabio are thrust into a moral dilemma when first a group of prostitutes, and then a trio of soldiers also seek shelter within the church’s grounds. Can they help to protect them all, with a dwindling food and water supply, and Japanese soldiers on the rampage in the streets outside?
Yan Geling recently spoke to the Booklover about her book, and the forthcoming movie based upon it. More.
