I actually picked up Nanjing Reququum earlier this year and I was enjoying it. The writing was solid, but it's about the Nank King massacre and I just read something else that was a bit violent and I just needed a break from books about war and violence.
Nanjing requiem (2011)
During the 1937 attack on Nanjing, American missionary and women's college dean Minnie Vautrin decides to remain at her school during a violent Japanese attack that renders the school a refugee center for ten thousand women and children.
