Beskrivelse
1941: Two Brothers, One Woman, One War
Tad, elder son of Russian-born political refugee Alexei and Japanese-born Kimi, flies planes for the U.S. Navy; his brother, Koizumi, is a fighter pilot in the Imperial Navy of Japan. When Koizumi visits his family in Hawaii, he is accompanied by the beautiful Sayuri. To Koizumi’s dismay, she and Tad begin a passionate romance, only to be torn apart when she and Koizumi are ordered back to Tokyo.
All too soon, Tad discovers that, if being estranged from a brother for 25 years is bad, seeing him in your gun sights is worse. And as American bombs fall on Japan, Tad fears that he will never see Sayuri again.
Commitment, terror, compassion and unswerving loyalty comprise A Blossom in the Ashes, a story of unyielding nations in a world gone mad.
“A riveting novel that is a new twist on family relationships during World War II. Singleton’s characters are interesting, the story engrossing and fast-paced. It’s a must read for those who like this genre.” — Marc Liebman, author of award-winning novels Forgotten and Inner Look, and Big Mother 40, a top 50 war novel.
The sequel to award-winning A Cherry Blossom in Winter
