Cherry Blossoms in Twilight: Memories of a Japanese Girl - Paperback

by Yaeko Sugama-Weldon (Author), Linda E. Austin (Author), Yaeko Sugama Weldon (Author)

Yaeko Sugama Weldon's memories of a poor but happy childhood shattered by the destruction of war offer a window to a different culture and an eye-opening look at how civilians survive the fears and horrors of a war they never wanted. Cherry Blossoms in Twilight is a learning experience about the Japanese culture as well as a personal account of WWII in Japan, gently told for a younger audience but nonetheless unflinching in its message of the humanity of all - even the enemy's people.
