pickGosh, what a read and in so few pages. This is the first I've read by her but won't be the last. It's taught me more about the Japanese internment in WW2 and the huge suspicious around them.
Removing character names really struck me as not depersonalisation but nameless people, as in the camps. The final chapter will stay with me for a while.
Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

Such a good book. I read this in 2010.
When did YOU read it?
FULL REVIEW: https://tinyurl.com/m89byma2
pickThis book looks at the incarceration of Japanese-Americans during WWII from the focus of a group of boys/young men who played football in one of the camps. It does a great job of showing the situation Japanese-American citizens were in but the football parts are a bit dull (and I like the game), so I‘m glad there was actually less of that than I was expecting.
pickPoignant story of Japanese American soldier who fought with honor against Germans in Europe. He succeeded as a soldier despite a lot of prejudice at home. His family was at Topaz camp in Utah.
I am reading this one now about Japanese American soldiers in Europe during the big war, while their families were interned in camps back home!

I'm going to miss these. In this list, of the books I have read, the one that stands out is David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars, a truly beautiful read, and at the same time troubling and poignant.
