As the world descends into war, one city becomes an unlikely sanctuary.
Dr. Franz Adler, a Jewish surgeon fleeing Nazi Germany, finds refuge in Shanghai with his daughter. But safety is fragile. The Japanese occupation tightens, tensions rise, and the horrors of Pearl Harbor ripple across the city’s borders.
Franz devotes himself to a refugee hospital, where he meets Sunny Mah, a nurse with a fierce will and a haunted past. Their connection is undeniable, but so is the looming threat that shadows every moment.
Caught between cultures and surrounded by escalating violence, Franz must protect his family, his patients, and the woman he’s come to love.
The Far Side of the Sky is a sweeping, emotional novel of resilience, hope, and the fight to hold onto humanity in a world at war.
