A stirring and wonderful saga! This story of Japanese immigrant families to Hawaii and mainland USA spans many years. It’s long--in three parts, but it’s one of those that you just don’t want to put down. I listened to the audiobook, thoroughly enjoying the narrator’s voice, and her ability to present the characters with wonderful timbre and accent and language. Loved it!

This book was an emotional roller coaster. I think more so due to current events in our country that shows we just don’t learn from our past. This country was built on opportunity. Reading about the Japanese Internment through a fictional family made the past more real.
