"We are star stuff which has taken its destiny into its own hands. The loom of time and space works the most astonishing transformations of matter."

A first novel of astonishing force, craft and beauty, The Headmaster's Wager conjures up a dizzyingly evocative wartime Saigon in the story of Percival Chen, a Chinese schoolmaster in Vietnam. This extraordinary book made me weep. Read it.
