About this listen
The Sunday Times number one best seller, from the author of Cloud Atlas and The Bone Clocks.
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2010.
Be transported to a place like no other: a tiny, man-made island in the bay of Nagasaki, for 200 years the sole gateway between Japan and the West. Here, in the dying days of the 18th century, a young Dutch clerk arrives to make his fortune. Instead he loses his heart.
Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, the key is control - of riches and minds and over death itself.

masterpiece I was there , an exhilerated observer
as the characters were magically brought to life , I felt shocked , awestruck and excited . The rythmn of the writing and narration took me to a Japan I did not know , yet brought great understandings into the cultures of times past . There is always something in David's books that brings deeper meaning .

Brilliantly
Brilliantly written by a master. Who would have thought a bovel written about a Dutch trading post in 1800 Japan would be so entertaining. Wonderfull characters, some of whom I have discovered transcend to his other novels.

Enchanting, emotional, exciting
The Narrators were engaging, so much so, that I felt transported back in time. I felt connected with the history and the characters.
