The Persimmon Tree by Bryce Courtney

The Persimmon TreeThe Persimmon Tree by Bryce Courtenay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful book and a beautiful story. It engages you right from the start and although I have never been a fan of war stories, this was one that was fantastic. The hero, Nick, was a young butterfly collector when he was in the tropics off Australia and the Japanese invaded.
