The Translation of Love: A Novel by Lynne Kutsukake

4.0

A beautifully written story about the hardships in occupied Japan following WWII. The characters are so realistic that I found myself getting annoyed with the two 12 year olds until I realize that this is how 12 year olds most likely act. There are several characters all intertwined into the story. It is more often heartbreaking but has enough positive moments to keep it from being a complete emotional drain.
