I bought this book to read to my mom. She can’t see well enough to read anymore, and I knew she’d like this book, as I had read it before myself. The author is one year older than her, but lived in Okinawa during WWII; whereas, my mom lived in Indiana. I thought she would enjoy hearing about how similar and terribly different their lives were. It is a sad and yet uplifting story of a very young girl somehow surviving the battle of Okinawa. My mom did indeed enjoy the book.
but is no relation. And found I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. There are many mentions in the customer reviews about it being middle school or young adolescent lit, so I was a little leery. And it is in a way, because the episodes in her life are just presented the way she remembered them. There is no tying it back to a larger political idea, no closure of narrative like one expect in an adult novel, and often "characters" in her story walk away never to be seen from or heard from again. So, in that way, if you are expecting an adult account with deep reflections, ramifications both political and social, and prescriptions and condemnations, then you need to read another book. But Higa's account was refreshing in that way that children are. She presents everything without guile or over-analysis. You feel the visceral experience with her as she climbs over the wasteland that her country becomes. She never sugar-coats anything because there is no need to when just presented factually. You feel her need, understand her young judgements, and are just charmed by her plucky character. In today's multicultural educational system, this book would be a good addition to any history of WWII.
From the moment I read the first chapter to the very last, I didn't put this book down once. Nonfiction stories like these remind me of how unpredictable and short life can really be- real, gut wrenching tragedies do exist! They can be ruthless and unbiased, damaging lives of innocent children like this young girl. But it's incredible how the magnification of life, love, family, and joy can result from terrible hardships, giving us, the readers, a new perspective on our own lives. I can honestly say that I've carried a new sense of gratitude and appreciation since finishing this book.
What a powerful story of a girl just trying to stay alive and be with her family while a war rages around that she and all the locals are just trying to live their own lives. This is such a moving story. It is a short easy read. If you want to see how war affects civilians read this book. It did make me cry. It is a very emotional story. I love this book. I wish I could have met this women. I have been to Okinawa and seen the war sites, which is the entire island. Great Book. I think everyone should read.
I Enjoyed this book very much. Being of Okinawan ancestry, it was not until I visited Okinawa that I took an interest in the Battle of Okinawa. The ravages of war on a country and its people is so horrible....This was a brave little girl, who lived to tell her story. This is NOT a book for elementary school children.
Just amazing. This true story has remained vividly in my memory and psyche since I read it, which was over a decade ago. Profound, truly profound. A must read.
I worked with women and men who survived the Battle when I was serving as a Dietitian at naval hospital Okinawa on Camp Lester. I wish I read it before my arrival but I managed to read it later in my tour. Her story is vivid and really helped me understand the plight of the Okinawa people. I purchased several copies and began distributing it to everyone I served with there. The story is compelling!
My own mother was just 5 years old and lived in Naha at the time the battle for Okinawa took place. She has never spoken at any length of what she remembers. I only know my grandmother and my aunt were shot (my aunt was wrapped and carried on my grandmother's back. One shot killed both of them) My mother and her two brothers watched them both die. This book allowed me to understand exactly what it was like for my mother without her having to say a word. Thank you so much Tomiko Higa san
