Synopsis
In sleepy Salty Creek, Georgia, strangers are rare. When a quiet, unassuming stranger arrives-a Japanese man with a secret history of his own-he becomes the talk of the town and a new beginning for lonely Sophie, who lost her first love during World War I.
Middle-aged Sophie had resigned herself to a passionless existence. That all begins to change as she finds herself drawn to the mysterious Mr. Oto. When the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, Mr. Oto's newfound life comes under siege; his safety, even in Salty Creek, is no longer certain. Sophie must decide how much she is willing to risk for a future with the man who has brought such joy into her life.

Review
I loved SOPHIE AND THE RISING SUN. Augusta Trobaugh has written a timeless novel of love and understanding that goes straight to the heart (Richard Paul Evans, author of THE CHOCOLATE BOX)
Augusta Trobaugh is a new voice... Complex and resonant. (Anne Rivers Siddons)
An elegantly-written tale of forbidden love... well defined and consistent characterisation. (IRISH EXAMINER)
The language and imagery are rich and atmospheric. You can hear the distant cries of gulls, the whisper of the wind... Sophie's dream is one of the most exquisite pieces of writing I have read. Whatever your usual preference, do read this book. It is timel (HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW)
