"This novel about WWII begins at Pearl Harbor shortly before the Day of Infamy … Iris Hashimoto, a Nisei born in San Francisco, travels to Japan to vist her relatives and gets trapped there … she winds up as a kind of double agent Tokyo Rose … [McGraw Boldt] balances Iris' bouts of culture shock with credible battle scenes." — Washington Post "So well-plotted and executed, the characters are so finely drawn, interesting and realistic, the research is so meticulous … marvelous, enduring." —Patricia Gallagher, author of No Greater Love
