Customer Reviews

As superb as anything Michener ever wrote.

And I told Dorothy that. It is regrettable that she did not carry on the story; just as with a Michener novel, often when you get to the last page you want there to exist three more volumes. Dorothy spent some time in Hiroshima teaching at an all-girls school so her settings were authentic and the people were all "real." Used copies at $0.88? Buy several for friends. they'll thank you.

In The Autumn Wind

Even though I read this book many years ago, I am haunted by many revelations of the Japanese culture and how differently we(Americans) feel about life. I grew up during WWII and had a completely different view of the Japanese people. This book is about a woman and her survival of the bombing of Hiroshima. It discusses the life before the war and the the ethics of the people. I also admired the courage and resourcefulness of the survivors. This book would present a different view and contrast to the recently released movie, "Pearl Harbor".
