The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet

This epic novel by David Mitchell is a sweeping work of historical fiction that confirms his place among the world's greatest novelists.

Set in 1799, the artificial island of Dejima lies in Nagasaki Harbor as the Empire of Japan's de facto gate blocking Western influence.

Jacob de Zoet comes to make his fortune before reuniting with his fiancEe in Holland, but fate takes a dangerous turn when he falls hopelessly in love with a young Japanese woman.

With lush imagery and authentic characters, this novel is beautifully complemented by the dual performance of narrators Jonathan Aris and Paula Wilcox.
