The Summer Grasses: Echoes of A Distant War (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Grady Bauscher journeys back in time to find what happened to his brother who was missing in action in the battle of Bataan. He plumbs the memories of old soldiers who spin conflicting stories of courage and cowardice, but the truth eludes him until it is revealed in a record of treachery and deceit that lay hidden for half a century. The Summer Grasses is rich in unvarnished historical detail, but more than a war story, it is also a tale of remembrance, a recapitulation of Grady’s life in which Sumi-re Sumida guides him to a reconciliation with the past.
