Washington Post   In your hands is a place like no other: a tiny  man-made island in the bay of
Nagasaki  for two hundred years the sole gateway between Japan and the West. Here  in the dying
days of the eighteenth century  a young Dutch clerk arrives to make his fortune. Instead he
loses his heart.  Step onto the streets of Dejima and mingle with scheming traders  spies 
interpreters  servants and concubines as two cultures converge. In a tale of integrity and
corruption  passion and power  the key is control - of riches and minds  and over death itself.
