Japanese Lover

For Alma and Ichimei, these letters exchanged for an endless period of time had replaced those secret meetings. Alma's were sincere and sorrowful letters from a woman suffering from separation; Ichimei's letters were like still, crystal clear water, but the passionate love they shared beat like a heart between the lines. These letters clearly showed Alma Ichimei's elegant inner world, her excitements, dreams, longings and ideals; Thanks to these letters, rather than love meetings, he was able to know her, love her, and desire her.

When Poland was invaded by the Nazis in 1939, her family sent eight-year-old Alma Belasco to her relatives who were living a comfortable life in San Francisco. During a time when the world is at war, an innocent love begins to blossom between Alma and Ichimei Fukuda, the son of the family's Japanese gardener. Following the Pearl Harbor attack, the US's treatment of the Japanese in the country turns the lives of the two lovers upside down, as does the lives of many Japanese who are imprisoned in the camps. Mysterious letters unearthed decades later reveal an extraordinary passion whose origins date back almost seventy years.

Japanese Lover is a story of love, belonging and destiny that spreads across continents and generations, from the pen of Chilean writer Isabel Allende.< /p>
