Summary
In another of Alan Furst's immensely popular World War II mysteries, Jean Casson (hero of THE WORLD AT NIGHT) returns to Nazi-occupied Paris in the fall of 1941 and checks into a seedy hotel. He's down on his luck, depressed, and bored: like the city he loves, he has lost his joie de vivre. Joining an undercover unit, he becomes involved in an operation that's running guns to the French resistance in an attempt to subvert the Vichy government. In the process, he meets Helene Schreiber, who has problems of her own, and who is determined not to fall for Casson. But things on all fronts rapidly get out of control....

Media Reviews
"As in THE WORLD AT NIGHT, Furst proves himself a master at capturing the bleak and mean mood of wartime Paris....Furst tries to boost the story's credibility by having his characters offer analyses of the historical and political context in which the narrative takes place....Furst also peppers his dialogue with little phrases or sayings in French (which he then frequently has to translate), as if to remind the reader that they speak a different language in France. But neither device succeeds in bringing most of his characters alive: they are what they do." -- Alan Riding

Song of the Exile
by Kiana Davenport
In this epic, original novel in which Hawaii's fierce, sweeping past springs to life, Kiana Davenport, author of the acclaimed Shark Dialogues, draws upon the remarkable stories of her people to create a timeless, passionate tale of love and survival. In spellbinding, sensual prose, Song of the Exile follows the fortunes of the Meahuna family--and the odyssey of one resilient man searching for his soul mate after she is torn from his side by the forces of war. In the last, innocent days before Pearl Harbor, two people meet in Honolulu almost by chance: Keo, a gifted jazz trumpeter native to the islands, and Sunny, a fiercely independent beauty of Hawaiian and Korean heritage. As their love grows, youth and ambition propel them out into a world that is spiraling into madness. Keo's music takes him from the back alleys of Honolulu to the hidden jazz clubs of New Orleans--and, ultimately, to the fevered decadence of pre-war Paris, where Sunny joins him, even as the Nazis prepare to march into the doomed city. Caught in the tides of history, the lovers flee separately to the seething chaos of Shanghai, where Sunny searches for the sister she has never known. Captured by the Japanese, Sunny descends into a place of unimagined horror and violation. Keo mounts a desperate campaign to find her--a heroic effort that becomes his destiny. From the turbulent years of World War II through Hawaii's complex journey to statehood, this extraordinary novel sheds a searing light on the unspoken fate that befell thousands of women during this dark time in history. The result is a bold narrative of unforgettable characters who rise up magnificent and forceful, redeemed by the spiritual power and the awesome beauty of their islands. As haunting as a trumpet's final soaring note, Song of the Exile is a mesmerizing story of music and myth, tragedy and triumph, survival and transcendence.
