From the back cover: Antiques dealer Rei Shimura is in San Francisco visiting her parents and researching a personal project to trace the story of 100 years of Japanese decorative arts through her own family’s history. But Rei’s work is interrupted by the arrival of her long-distance boyfriend, lawyer Hugh Glendinning, who is involved in a class action lawsuit on behalf of people forced to engage in slave labor for Japanese companies during World War II. Suddenly, when one of Hugh’s clients is murdered, their two projects intertwine. Before long, Rei uncovers troubling facts about her own family’s actions during the war. As she starts to unravel the truth and search for a killer, the notions of family ties and loyalty take on an entirely new meaning.

This book is on its way to the next reader. Happy reading!

Thank you - so nice to meet Rei again!

It was so nice to meet Rei again! I enjoyed the information about Japanese culture and history, even if much of it was about sad and horrible past.

Heinäkuun kirja-arvontaan liittyen - nyt jo tietäen, että valevoittajalle menee tämä!

Valevoittajalta ihan oikeat kiitokset! Rei Shimuran seikkailuista en ole vähään aikaan lukenut, joten onkin korkea aika lukea, mistä pinteestä hän tällä kerralla selviää :)
