I immensely enjoyed the different side of WW 2 we rarely often get in fictional books around this time period. I’m speaking about the Japanese experience of being in internment campus during the early 1940’s post Pearl Harbor. This novel combines realism with Japanese mythology and some horror elements infused with some real experiences of xenophobia and even the fear of an epidemic. If you haven’t gotten the chance to pick up this April ‘22 release, I highly recommend checking this out for a diverse outlook on what WW 2 was like for those who called America home in spite of the rest of the world viewing them from a different lens.
