Saved from a dumpster, headed out in my "Something for everyone" bookbox!
Headed out into the world via my Potluck Bookbox, happy travels little book!
Evidently I forgot to ever acknowledge receipt of this book. I am sorry! I've completed reading it now, finally. Here is my review:
A boy falls in love with a Japanese neighbor girl. Along comes WWII, the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor. The Island, In Washington State, where these two young people live, is torn my racial tensions, the Japanese are sent to internment camps, the young men go to war.
Years pass and the young woman has returned to the Island, married a Japanese man and become a mother. The young man has been to war, lost part of an arm and come back home. He is still in love with the Japanese woman. Ten years have passed when an Island man dies on the sea while fishing and the Japanese woman's husband is accused of murder. When our man, still in love, is given a chance to save his rival from the accusation of murder, what will he do? When the Island people are given a chance to judge a Japanese man on trial will they be able to think past their prejudice?
Slow moving, but strong in atmosphere.
Thank you for giving me the chance to read this book.
