Rather average book that took a bit of getting used to as alternating chapters are written in the Forties and Fifties. In the 40s, Sakura is taken from her Tongan island to New Zealand as her father is a Japanese fisherman and NZ is at war with Japan. While her father is interned, S and her family play an excruciating waiting game to see if they are allowed to return to Tonga, or to Japan. Skip forward 10 years or so to Maree who's brother Alan has just returned home from fighting in the Korean war with (much to her ex-soldier Uncle's horror)a japanese war bride! The girls stories are told in tandemn and I thought the ending was somewhat forced in the 40s side. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
During World War II Maree glimpsed a little Japanese girl, interned with others. She never forgot her. But now, in the cosy fifties, Maree dreams of stardom and the emerging American rock culture, and worries about her brother Alan, on R&R in Japan after fighting in Korea. Will he return to Korea if war breaks out again? World powers are debating atomic weapons and atomic tests are being carried out in the Pacific. But Alan does arrive home - stunning his family by bringing a young Japanese wife, Keiko. Uncle fought in the Pacific war, so Keiko isn't welcome. And later, Maree learns why both Uncle and Keiko have reason to hate, if they so choose. Maree finds herself supporting Keiko against her family. And Alan isn't the easygoing, carefree brother who left home. Keiko also experiences unkindness from outside. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
