The sequel to "Empire of the Sun", this story follows the travels of Jim, as he leaves Shanghai after the war and tries to settle firstly in England and then Canada. Shattered by personal tragedy, he throws himself into the maelstrom of the 1960s, searching for peace of mind.

Industry Reviews

This is the sequel to Empire of the Sun and perhaps more inspired. Each chapter, from the time of Jamie's return to Shanghai after prison camp to the final page and the rediscovery of his lost childhood through the lives of his own children, is achieved through a rolling sea of stories of love, death, travel, deviant sex, beautiful, healing love-making, drugs and self-understanding, all told with such honesty and writerly flair that it provides a level of autobiography above most. JG Ballard is one of our finest writers and this book may be his finest. Review by Mavis Cheek, whose books include 'Three Men in a Plane' (Kirkus UK)
