Return to Hiroshima by Bob Van Laerhoven
4.0
I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
This book starts out being a little difficult to get into because it switches characters from chapter to chapter. Once you get used to it, the story really sucks you in. The plot is complex, the atmosphere is dark, and the story really shows you an in depth look inside the culture of the Japanese and how the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima affected those who lived through it and also future generations. If you're looking for a read that's out of the ordinary, that is one part literary fiction and one part mystery novel, then you should read this book.
