"I read this book a long time ago, I have never forgotten the story....it really touched me. I couldn't remember the name of the author or title. I have been searching for it ever since I started good reads and just found it online this evening. I will re-read it just b/c of the search! "

“A powerful tale…eloquent.”
— RT Book Reviews (4 stars)“Tatlock employs flashbacks efficiently, and her rich descriptions and characterizations are unusually fresh and inventive.”
— Publishers Weekly“[Tatlock’s] her most ambitious work to date…The Japanese internments of the 1940s are overworked ground in fiction, but Tatlock’s careful re-creation of this old outrage from a lonely child’s point of view brings it to agonizing life.”
— Booklist (starred review)" This is about a little white girl who wants to be japanese more than anything, during WWll, and her Japanese girlfriend wants to be white. Very interesting ideas to discover as you read. "
— Jan, 1/1/2011" I think the initial idea was good but it seemed like the author tried to tackle too many stories or injustices at once and it just became a hodge podge of messages. "
— Tera, 6/8/2010" Didn't like the change from "little girl" narrating, to grown woman narrating. It lost something once the narrator grew up. "
— Imen, 8/17/2009" I enjoyed the comparison of the Japanese culture and how they reacted to being persecuted and discriminated against versus the black culture. There are many things that are the same, but there are also many things that are different in how each culture handles these problems. "
— Marlene, 10/28/2008" Recommended by my Grandma Aoyagi...so, I'm sure it's good. "
— Katy, 9/8/2008" Excellent story of friends growing up during the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. How they dealt with racism andthen and later in life. A page turner. "
— Cocos_farm, 5/13/2008" Great story about prejudice in America including what the Japanese went through and the African Americans in the South. "
— Karen, 4/14/2008" your basic novel about friendship and race relations. nothing to write home about "
