"Astonishingly accomplished. . . .A gripping love story and family dynamic is woven seamlessly with graphic descriptions of the aftermath of the bomb and the historical and cultural changes sweeping Japan. . . . While this is an often heart-breaking portrait of a mother's love told through diaries, letters, and flashbacks, it is also a meticulously researched history of Japan. The graceful style and clarity of [Copleton's] writing makes this an addictive read. With the 70th anniversaries of Hiroshima and Nagasaki approaching, this novel is a must."--Scottish Daily Mail (UK)
"Full of delicate imagery drawing on Japanese nature and culture, this is a rich, romantic story, brimming with restrained emotion--with a twist that will take your breath away. Superb."--Daily Mirror (UK)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the tradition of Memoirs of a Geisha and The Piano Teacher, a heart-wrenching debut novel of family, forgiveness, and the exquisite pain of love When Amaterasu Takahashi opens the door of her Philadelphia home to a badly scarred man claiming to be her grandson, she doesnt believe him. Her grandson and her daughter, Yuko, perished nearly forty years ago during the bombing of Nagasaki. But the man carries with him a collection of sealed private letters that open a Pandoras Box of family secrets Ama had sworn to leave behind when she fled Japan. She is forced to confront her memories of the years before the war: of the daughter she tried too hard to protect and the love affair that would drive them apart, and even further back, to the long, sake-pouring nights at a hostess bar where Ama first learned that a soft heart was a dangerous thing. Will Ama allow herself to believe in a miracle? "First published in Great Britain by Hutchinson, a division of The Random House Group Ltd, 2015."
