I knew I would love the book from the opening page. “what interested me was the people, the human stories, the survivors, the lost lives and loves, the futures missed, the regret, the sadness, the guilt felt by so many.”
I love to read books that are based on characters who also love to read. It’s as if you already have one big connection with them, which draws you in further. The style of writing within this book was just beautifully done. I too, have a fascination of historical events, and find myself baffled as to how these things could have happened to people we love.
Mizuki’s grandfather has had to live his life battling the unthinkable event that happened to him as a teenager, unable to speak about it. Until now.
