Baptism of Fire
Baptism of Fire (1996)
Christine Harris
"A delightful book: delicately ironic, questioning, beautifully researched. I couldn't put it down."
Stepper

Brian Castro
"A political story, a love story, a tale of espionage and duplicity... Witty, comic and at the same time immeasurably sad, it is written in prose as delicate and illuminating as a Hokusui engraving."
