Ha Jin's searing new novel unfurls during one of the darkest moments of the 20th-century: the Rape of Nanjing. In 1937, with the Japanese poised to invade Nanjing, Minnie Vautrin an American missionary and the dean of Jinling Women's College decides to remain at the school, convinced that her American citizenship will help her safeguard the welfare of the Chinese men and women who work there. She is mistaken. In the aftermath of the invasion, the school becomes a refugee camp for more than ten thousand homeless women and children, and Vautrin must struggle to intercede on behalf of the hapless victims. Even when order and civility are restored, she is haunted by the lives she could not save. At once epic and intimate, Nanjing Requiem is historical fiction at its most resonant.
