This is an amazing epic that spans many decades, cultures, continents & traditions. It explores the impact of war on relationships, family dynamics and the challenges facing biracial children in monocultural, traditional societies. This book evoked all types of emotions and made me closely identify and empathize with the main character, Noriko, a child of a married Japanese aristocrat and a Black GI lover. This was one book I couldn’t put down & was sad when it ended... I wanted more and hope there will be a sequel.
