Fascinating, realistic alternate history fiction
This book was an incredible feat of blending the facts of WWII with what could have happened afterwards had only a few things gone differently. It is also a mesmerizing series of small, human mysteries, and I was surprised at how much sympathy I had for our Japanese ...
