Ça se laisse lire mais c'est pas ouf parce que les dialogues sont très formels, attendus, on ne ressent pas la familiarité du contexte. Trop de détails historiques sont expliqués par les personnages et auraient mérités de faire partie de la narration. Je pense pas lire la suite.

O livro começa com uma carta deixada à filha depois da morte Yukiko. Nela, Yukiko conta o seu dia a dia como adolescente durante a segunda guerra mundial, a sua mudança para Nagasaki com os seus pais, o trabalho na fábrica, os amigos e um amor especial desenvolvido com o seu vizinho.
A carta serve um propósito: desvendar um segredo de família que se tornou num drama a começar pelas mentiras do pai de Yukiko que envolviam adultério e filhos fora do casamento. É também desvendada a causa do assassinato do pai de Yukiko umas horas antes da bomba atómica cair sobre Nagasaki.
Li o livro em 4h, amei!

J'ai aimé l'histoire les personnages et même le format de ce livre. Je me jette sur le deux
I haven't really heard about the atomic bombs in Japan, just in class they told us it was a positive thing because it ended the world war... sure. This book talks about that context from different perspectives. Maybe from too many because in the end I didn't even know who was who. It's nice to see it from the point of view of different generations, but it was kind of difficult to keep up with the plot of every character. We also know about the terrible things the Japanese did to the Koreans with the earthquake at 1920s and the invasion of China. It's true that at the beginning it was a pageturner and with short chapters, so it was easy to read even when the rhyhtm of the story is different because of the change of cultures.

De l’intimité d’une famille à l’horreur de l’histoire, Aki Shimazaki réussit en une centaine de pages à nous transporter aux côtés de Yukiko en 1945 et de sa fille Namiko bien des années plus tard.
Sa plume simple et descriptive est l’écrin parfait à notre plongée dans les secrets de cette grand-mère qui décide de se dévoiler au crépuscule de sa vie.
Ce livre est exactement ce que le titre nous laisse entendre : l’illustration de ce que font les secrets à une vie, à une famille et ce que cela fait de s’en libérer.
