    Story
    "Delicate prose - intense book"
    Any additional comments?

    This is not the type of book that can generate a juicy recommendation.

    The prose in this book is very delicate, never mentioning the tragedie in Nagasaki directly.
    The protagonist in this story (who is also the narrator) doesn't relate to her own experience directly, but only as a listener to her family at the time, and by watching a close friends attempt to move to 'America'.
    Layer by Layer, it creats an intense picture.
    The author (through this story) carefully tells a story about the old Japanese way, which trigered a lot of emotions in me. (as a non Japenese reader) and another emotional stroy about parental choices.

    The narrator did a very good job.
