What shit can happen after Japanese citizens of America are separated by all the ideology bullshit and being forced to choose by the American government: AM I AMERICAN OR JAPANESE OR LOYAL OR WHAT?
What kind of sadness can we deal with in one little book????? Let's check!
Suicide?! Check!
Racism?! Check!
Forced incarceration?! Check!
PTSD?!
Cancer?!
Infidelity?!
Broken homes?!!
BIG FAT CHECKMARKS ALL AROUND!
Okay, but seriously. This is a heavy book, and I wouldn't recommend reading it if you're having an issue with sadness/depressive dips. Wait until you're steady enough to handle a stream of sadness.
