‘To Sing of War’ is a novel by Catherine McKinnon - the Miles Franklin Award shortlisted author of Storyland- set in the final months of WW2.

An epic story that examines the events in the lead-up to the United States’ decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki - ending the war in the Pacific and leading to Japan’s surrender.

Taking us from the Allied campaign in New Guinea, to Los Alamos in New Mexico (where Oppenheimer and a team of scientists were involved in a project to build a weapon to stop all war) and then far away to the sacred island of Miyajima in Japan, we are privy to the lives of those caught in that period of time.

Alive with breathtaking and heart-wrenching detail, this is a book about conflict, death, sacrifice, friendship, love and forgiveness.

An unforgettable story from a remarkable story-teller.
