The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell is an intricate, moving historical novel set in 1799 at the far flung Dutch trading outpost of Dejima in Japan's Nagasaki Harbor. Like all David's books (Cloud Atlas, The Bone Clocks, etc.), it's populated by compelling, flawed, and fundamentally human characters that I can't help but identify with. The story dragged me along with inexorable momentum that kept the pages turning at blurring speed. Another masterpiece from one of the greatest living writers.
