Minnie Vautrin, an American missionary and the dean of Jinling Women's College, decides to remain at the school, convinced that her American citizenship will help her safeguard the welfare of the Chinese men and women who work there. She is painfully mistaken. In the aftermath of the invasion, the school becomes a refugee camp for more than ten thousand homeless women and children, and Vautrin must struggle, day after day, to intercede on the behalf of the hapless victims. Yet even when order and civility are restored, she remains deeply embattled, always haunted by the lives she could not save. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once a searing story that unfurls during one of the darkest moments of the twentieth century and an indelible portrait of a singular and brave woman, \u003ci\u003eNanjing Requiem\u003c\/i\u003e is another tour de force from the National Book Award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eWaiting\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307743732\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.41h x 8.01w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Dayton Literary Peace Prize - Runner-Up\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/04\/2012 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2013 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ha Jin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331863797941,"sku":"9780307743732","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0ffbedbb-ee86-4a6c-a3ef-1b754931fc1a.jpg?v=1745938319","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nanjing-requiem-9780307743732","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
