trade-size paperback.

from the back cover:
Moving deftly from a Japanese POW camp to present-day Australia, from the experiences of Dorrigo Evans and his fellow prisoners to that of the Japanese guards, this savagely beautiful novel tells a story of the many forms of love and death, of war and truth, as one man come of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.

I got about a quarter of the way into the book and became restless. There appeared to be subject matter coming up that I was not prepared to deal with so I set this aside.
