Publisher’s Synopsis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tsubaki<\/em> (“Camellia” in Japanese) tells a story of betrayal and vengeance set against the nuclear blast that destroyed Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The image of the camellia, the red flower that stands out against its dark green leaves, runs through Aki Shimazaki’s stark, finely-wrought novel. Spare, almost laconic in its imagery, oblique in its gaze, Tsubaki<\/em> draws its power from the delicacy of understatement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
