The Persimmon Tree opens in Indonesia in 1942 on the cusp of Japanese invasion and the evacuation of Batavia (Jakarta) by the Dutch. Seventeen-year-old Nicholas Duncan is on holiday there, in pursuit of an exotic butterfly known as the Magpie Crow. It's an uncertain, dangerous time to be in Indonesia, and Nick's options of getting out are fast dwindling. Amidst the fear and chaos he falls in love with Anna, the beautiful daughter of a Dutch acquaintance, and she nicknames him 'Mr Butterfly'.

Would you listen to The Persimmon Tree again? Why?
I will listen to this book again because I couldn't absorb all the really fascinating details within the book one time around.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Persimmon Tree?
...the twist and turns about prejudice in a small village during WW2 in the Phillipines and how it is acted out.
Who was the most memorable character of The Persimmon Tree and why?
Nick the main character, was most memorable. He is the "narrator" and is a young guy having totally new life experiences; how he views them is so fun to read.
