Based on J.G. Ballard’s real life accounts Empire of the Sun follows Jim Graham a British boy who lives in Shanghai with his parents.
His life gets chaotic after the Pearl Harbor attacks as he gets separated for his parents and put in Japanese concentration camp and must endure much turmoil to get back to his parents.
Bleak and haunting in the novels tone as Jim must encounter war and the worst in the men at such a young age.
A highly emotional coming of age tale that can be enjoyed from people in their adolescence and older.
