Dust of Eden by Mariko Nagai
4.0
I received a copy of this via netgalley and it was the first time I have ever read anything regarding the Japanese internment camps. Honestly I knew precious little about that aspect of history and it made a very interesting read.
Although at first I found the prose a little different to anything I've read before - part poetry, part letters, part diary-style retelling - I found it kept my interest hearing from several of the main characters.
I tore through this book in a couple of hours and would be interested in reading more on this topic. My only slight criticism is that Mina was so endearing I would have liked to have known her a little better by the end of the book.
