Matthew Benzing’s Reviews > The Narrow Road to the Deep North > Status Update

Great book, a lot to take in. The POW camp in Siam is one pole of the book, and I love how we see the experiences of the prisoners and the captors reverberating throughout their lives. The love story, if it can be called that, that is the other pole is open to interpretation. I take a cynical view, and think reading that part of the novel straight would greatly weaken it.
