Description

Winner of the PEN/Faulkner award for fiction in 2003, The Caprices is a collection of stories artfully told across the theatre of the Pacific Campaign of World War II.

An Anglo-Indian cavalryman, his homeland on the brink of revolution, finds himself in Malaysia fighting to protect British interests.

Two soldiers lost in the jungle with a Japanese prisoner confront their prejudices toward each other, and the nature of being American.

An island witnesses the passing of history from Magellan, to Amelia Earhart, to the dropping of the atomic bomb.

With exquisite lyricism tempered by a journalist’s eye for detail, Murray shines light on the tangle of battles created by that conflict, the violent reach across the generations, the shattering reverberations in memory.

With this collection, Sabina Murray established herself as a passionate and wise voice of literary fiction.
