Shame and the captives
(Large Print)
"Alice lives on her father-in-law's farm in Australia, while her husband is held prisoner in Europe. When Giancarlo, an Italian inmate at the prisoner-of-war camp down the road, is assigned to work on the farm, she hopes that being kind to him will somehow influence her husband's treatment. Giancarlo changes the way Alice understands herself and the wider world. But what most challenges Alice and her fellow townspeople is the utter foreignness of the thousand-plus Japanese. Mortified by being taken alive in battle and preferring violent death to the shame of living, they plan an outbreak with shattering and far-reaching consequences for all the citizens around them"--Back cover.
