Why read it?
1 author picked Evergreen as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This historical novel pulses with empathy, humanely portrayed growth, and quiet unease, a combination which speaks to the social justice warrior and history fan in me.
I loved the book's exquisite exploration of 1940s Los Angeles and the collision of cultures as displaced Japanese-American citizens returned from internment camps to their old neighborhoods after the end of World War II. A young wife's tentative search for a shadowy murderer drives this mystery, which is a stunning sequel to Hirahara's acclaimed novel, Clark and Division.
