Description:
<DIV><B>This epic novel of a wide-eyed missionary and a rebellious woman thrust into China&rsquo;s Communist revolution is &ldquo;an excellent read, panoramic in scope&rdquo; (<I>Financial Times</I>).</B><BR /> &#160;<BR /> In 1931, young English-born 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 world&rsquo;s largest nation from Communism.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> But when he is swept along on the cold, unforgiving Long March, Jakob becomes entangled with Mei-ling, a beautiful and fervent revolutionary. Soon, powerful new emotions challenge and reshape his faith&mdash;and entrap him forever in the vast country&rsquo;s tortured destiny.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Once held hostage by Red Guards in Peking for more than two years, author Anthony Grey traces the path of China&rsquo;s Communist party from its covert inception through purge and revolution. He crafts a portrait of China as a land of great beauty and harshness&mdash;of triumph and tragedy&mdash;in a sweeping narrative, rich in historical and cultural revelations.<BR /> &#160;<DIV>&#160;</DIV></DIV>
