The Enemy by Pearl S. Buck
A respected Japanese surgeon who studied abroad finds a wounded enemy soldier washed ashore and covertly brings him into his home to treat and hide, precipitating a tense moral conflict between his professional oath and loyalty to his country; as he, his wife, and household struggle to care for the prisoner under the scrutiny and pressure of neighbors and authorities, the narrative probes the costs of compassion, the demands of patriotism, and the difficult choices an individual must make in wartime.
