The lovers room would always be theirs, and they would take it with them wherever they went. As the Allied forces occupy Japan at the end of World War II, an intense love affair develops between Australian Allen Spin Bowler, an interpreter in the British army, and Momoko, a woman whose calmness and dignity veil the tiredness and defeat she has suffered. In the quiet sanctuary of Momoko’s room, Spin gradually sheds his shy bookish self and their love blossoms. However, the betrayal that follows has devastating consequences, forever changing the course of both their lives. A powerful and compelling story of love found and lost, of trust and passion, secrets and jealousy, The Lovers Room is nothing short of unforgettable.
