When I say I am immersed in this book…I feel like I’ve been living in post-WWII Japan for the past two weeks. This is such a raw vignette of a hardworking family trying to survive when they’ve been marginalized and misplaced; made victims of war and politics. I’m learning so much.

This was a pleasant surprise because historical fiction isn’t usually my go-to!
