'His name was Sorrow. His mother killed herself when he was two years old, but that was not why he had been given this name… she had called him this because his father had gone away and left her before he was born…'
Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton - the faithless young naval lieutenant who abandons Madam Butterfly - is a young man haunted by the desolation of his boyhood years, unable to show or respond to love. He's about to set sail for Japan, but his imminent departure conjures up the monstrous act for which he is most remembered: the rejection and destruction of a pure and loving heart.
Once again, in his extraordinary imagination, his mastery of language and his superb sense of time and place, Peter Rushforth has given the world a second masterpiece, ranking alongside - even surpassing - his earlier triumph, Pinkerton's Sister.
Praise for Pinkerton's Sister
'A disturbing, brilliant and rewarding read' Independent
A masterful evocation of the entombment of an intelligent woman's mind and body…worthy of Henry James' Washington Post
'A hugely impressive achievement…I am quite awed by it' Margaret Forster
