I’ve read many World War II novels, but A Single Swallow, by Zhang Ling, is the first I’ve read that is set in China and focuses on the Japanese invasion from a Chinese point of view.Starting in present day, three men—two American and one Chinese—reminisce about life in the rural village they were all stationed in during the war.
