panThis was an odd book. I rolled with it in Part 1 because it's translated from Japanese, so some of the odd sentence structuring and odd dialogue could be due to translation. The premise was interesting - a small Japanese island, a girl helping two AWOL soldiers - one Japanese and one American. The girl is somewhat obsessed with collecting star sand from the beach - which I had to look up because no one was actually telling me what star sand is. ⬇
#favoritebookcover #riotgrams @bookriot Some lovely covers from books I've read. ❤️ cover art
A few months ago I got this book through #kindlefirst . It wasn't what I normally read but I put it onto my kindle and forgot about it. A few days ago I found myself on the subway with nothing to read and rediscovered this book. The past few days I have followed the beautiful story of a 16 year old Japanese American doing her best to survive alone in WWII Japan. Today I finished as we remember Pearl Harbor. The timing could not have been better.
pickThis is a cute book that feels a bit more like a modern fairy tale than historical fiction. Its sweet and perfect for when you're in the mood for something light to read.
pickOn Okinawan island Hatoma, a sixteen-year-old Japanese girl, a Japanese army deserter, and an American army deserter are determined to make their own peace as WWII rages on. But will it cost them their lives? The drama unfolds quietly and ends with a powerful turn of events.
pickThis was a quick and captivating read about a girl who helps two hiding deserters during WWII on an island in Japan. Highly recommended read!
