1958: Hiroshima, a single mother cannot take care of her youngest son Akihiro anymore, so he has to live with his grandmother in the country. It's an opportunity for Akihiro to meet his grandmother, whom he hardly knows, and to discover a new life.
Based on memories of his own childhood, the author Yoshichi Shimada has written a tale of incredible harshness, yet one that is also absolutely positive. it is fascinating to see this grandmother's ability to face any situation with admirable optimism and strength of character.
She transformed her grandson's life, preparing him to face adversity with a smile and without self-pity. Through all these anecdotes, it's also a plunge into the daily life of the japanese society, then in the throes of transformation, with sharp social and economic contrasts.
Saburō Ishikawa's semi-realistic, rounded drawing provides a distance from the harshness of our heroes' lives too.
It was very pleasant to read!
