Simple, and gorgeous. Reminded me of Everything I Never Told You in the unfolding of the story. I don’t think that a white man writing Japanese-Americans’ experiences with racism and U.S. internment camps would go over so well today, but I do think Guterson did it respectfully for the time. I’m so glad I picked up this masterful classic.
