The thousand autumns of Jacob de Zoet

Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial and Commonwealth Writers' Prizes.
A tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, where readers will be transported to a place like no other: a tiny, man-made island in the bay of Nagasaki. For two hundred years, the sole gateway between Japan and the West, where scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants and concubines of two cultures converge. This follows a young Dutch clerk, who arrives to make his fortune, and instead loses his heart

In your hands is a place like no other: a tiny, man-made island in the bay of Nagasaki, for two hundred years the sole gateway between Japan and the West. Here, in the dying days of the 18th century, a young Dutch clerk arrives to make his fortune. Instead he loses his heart.

Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders, spies, interpreters, servants and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and corruption, passion and power, the key is control - of riches and minds, and over death itself.
