Speak, Okinawa: A Memoir by Elizabeth Miki Brina

4.5

I read this after looking for a book on the history of Okinawa and surprise surprise this was the only one I could find that wasn’t just about the battle of Okinawa. The straightforward awareness and language the author uses to describe her life, her parents lives and the lives of people on Okinawa was deeply touching. I loved the moving around in time to tell multiple interwoven stories.
