Helpful Score: 2

I love this author's style of writing. She tells a story beautifully. This is a family saga, mainly focusing around the lives of 2 orphaned brothers, raised by their grandparents in Japan. It follows Japan's history from pre-World War II up through the early 60s. Many other characters weave in and out, to add depth to the story. The author vividly describes a world that was filled with much pain and sacrifice. Lovely story about life and death in Japan. This is much longer that the author's other books. I would highly recommend it.
