This book was so good that I couldn't put it down.

She, along with her Japanese family were living in Vancouver, Canada during the war years and all of the family inclding her as a five year old were put in internment camps. Before they left their home, her father hid family photo albums in the attic. After they were released from the camp , her father returned to his previous home which had been sold to snother family and asked their permission to retrive his hidden photos. My sister-in law has shown me some of their beautiful family photos. what a treacherous, heart-rending time the family endured.It was because of their experiences I had chosen to read this book. Thank you for the review of it, I look forward to the read of it. I have recently finished reading Shanghai Girls, by Lisa See, an excellent read.<br />What an excellent dandelion find you had at Walmart!<br />Annme ann my camerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06083671096943783249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096060547779843289.post-7326127075847477712011-04-08T16:32:01.892-04:002011-04-08T16:32:01.892-04:00Nelle, you did a good job doing this review.

Such a hugely unpopular topic as that of illegal immigrants was shown in the light of those who are escaping horrors of which many of us in the west have no perception. The nebulous issues involved in interpersonal relationships and the myriad miscommunication and faulty feelings one can experience was also handled with an amazing clarity--how we can mislead ourselves for both the good and bad in such relationships. And lastly, there is the clear picture of how little we live--for fear of taking a stand. I would give this a 4 1/2SNNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572126679385405338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5096060547779843289.post-65770153712102958342011-03-08T08:36:52.131-05:002011-03-08T08:36:52.131-05:00I don't seem to have a lot of time for pleasur...I don't seem to have a lot of time for pleasure reading these days, but am always on the lookout for a good recommendation.
