I enjoyed the conclusion to the characters’ stories begun in Molokai’i. Reading about the the racism that has plagues (and continues to plague) our history was hard to read, as it always is.  Since I grew up going to the mall where Tanforan racetrack/internment camp was (which has recently been sold, with mall to be demolished and office buildings to be erected), there was that very real connection of knowing that place and the weight of that connection.
