 World War II is over and Hanako and her family – her father, her mother, and little brother Akira – are moving to Japan. They have been in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans in America. They have renounced their citizenship so they can leave the camp and return to Japan to live with Hanako’s grandparents on a tenant farm outside of Hiroshima. They barely survive. Hanako struggles to fit in as an outsider in her new home. This is a moving book interspersed with black and white drawings. mjw |
