En 1858, Thomas Glover, un joven aventurero escocés, se traslada a Japón para trabajar como comerciante. Durante diez años, amasa una gran fortuna, se sumerge en las tradiciones samuráis y contribuye a la caída del Sogún. Sin embargo, tras este éxito se esconde un hombre infeliz. Su historia de amor con una cortesana quedó inmortalizada en la ópera Madama Butterfly. Esta novela épica recrea la vida de Glover y describe una saga de cien años que culmina con la destrucción de Nagasaki en 1945. Ganadora del Premio Glenfiddich, es una novela histórica que atrapa al lector desde el principio.
