About This Novel
An American middle school teacher spent ten years writing a story about his overnight fame. He fictionalized an island near Seattle with green cedars and strawberries, a small world closed by the sea, intertwined with love, war, racial discrimination and suspenseful murders... Two men came to the life of the Japanese girl Hatsue: Ishmael, a neighbor boy, was her first love, and they had the same breath; Miyamoto Kabuto, a Japanese classmate who had a crush on her and eventually became her husband, they were connected by blood. The Pearl Harbor incident broke out, and the contradiction between Japan and the United States intensified unprecedentedly. Japanese residents were deported to concentration camps in the western desert. Men take to the battlefield. The war rudely interrupted love and intertwined fate... Many years later, at the scene of a suspected murder trial, the three protagonists in a love story that could not seek justice reunited at the intersection of fate. The soul of an island and a Japanese suspect face the court trial together: the themes of good and evil, love and forgiveness, justice and prejudice, kindness and indifference are intertwined and played on the keys and strings of every unpredictable heart, forming a magnificent, subtle and soul-piercing symphony of humanity.
