More than twenty years after the classic The Transit of Venus, Shirley Hazzard returns to fiction with a novel that in the words of Ann Patchett is brilliant and dazzling...

The Great Fire is an extraordinary love story set in the immediate aftermath of the great conflagration of the Second World War. In war-torn Asia and stricken Europe, men and women, still young but veterans of harsh experience, must reinvent their lives and expectations, and learn, from their past, to dream again. Some will fulfill their destinies, others will falter. At the center of the story, a brave and brilliant soldier finds that survival and worldly achievement are not enough. His counterpart, a young girl living in occupied Japan and tending her dying brother, falls in love, and in the process discovers herself.

In the looming shadow of world enmities resumed, and of Asia's coming centrality in world affairs, a man and a woman seek to recover self-reliance, balance, and tenderness, struggling to reclaim their humanity. The Great Fire is a story of love in the aftermath of war by purely and simply, one of the greatest writers working in English today. (Michael Cunningham)

The Great Fire is the winner of the 2003 National Book Award for Fiction.

Soft, convenient, mobility friendly
These work great for my father who has mobility difficulties. He’s able to maintain a better grip with these. The mesh is soft, not abrasive, to the skin yet works up a good lather. Standard bar ivory fits nicely with room for a bigger bar soap.

The perfect soap bag for me
I'm new to using soap bags, I've tried a few different brands so far and this one is by far my favorite. I love how soap bags create a rich lather with bar soap while exfoliating but the ones I tried before this brand were way too rough to use on a daily basis, my skin would be red after showering. When I saw the type of material these soap bags were made of, it looked to be more gentle so I decided to give it a try. I've only used the white soap bag a few times now but I love it. It fits my Dove soap bar perfectly (other soap bags were too large), still creates a nice rich lather and best of all the material is so much more gentle than the other soap bags I've tried so I'm able to use it regularly without feeling like I'm scraping my skin off. I was hesitant to buy these due to the lack of reviews but I'm glad I did, with how amazing this product is I hope more people find these and try them out. I plan to buy a few more packs in case they ever stop making these, the price is very reasonable as well.

sub-optimal design
Size is a bit too small for anything bigger than an average bar of soap, so the soap doesn't move around enough to make good suds. the inside is also too textured, and the soap sticks to the inside of the pouch. good quality and sturdy stitching however.
