A Nanking Winter

Past and present intertwine in telling the story of the Japanese occupation of Nanking in 1937. A young writer’s campaign to ensure the past is not forgotten is challenged as she prepares for her book release – transporting us to one of the greatest horrors of the twentieth century. Nanking, China’s capital in 1937, is in the first weeks of invasion. In the midst of the rampage a small group of unlikely heroes band together to create refuge from the horror: an account of survival in the darkest of times.
