This epic novel of a wideeyed missionary and a rebellious woman thrust into Chinas Communist revolution is an excellent read, panoramic in scope (Financial Times). In 1931, young Englishborn missionary Jakob Kellner brings all the crusading passion of his untried Christian faith to a China racked by famine and bloody civil war. He burns to save the worlds largest nation from Communism. But when he is swept along on the cold, unforgiving Long March, Jakob becomes entangled with Meiling, a beautiful and fervent revolutionary. Soon, powerful new emotions challenge and reshape his faithand entrap him forever in the vast countrys tortured destiny. Once held hostage by Red Guards in Peking for more than two years, author Anthony Grey traces the path of Chinas Communist party from its covert inception through purge and revolution. He crafts a portrait of China as a land of great beauty and harshnessof triumph and tragedyin a sweeping narrative, rich in historical and cultural revelations.
