Summer of the Big Bachi by Naomi Hirahara
4.0
Notes:
Currently on Audible Plus
- Fantastic narration by Brian Nishii! Jumbled English & Japanese/Korean/etc have a distinct sound/cadence and he did a nice job of making that happen within the narration.
I went looking for a "mystery" and this one was of the results on Audible. This story is not a mystery. It's a cool mix of Japanese immigrant life in California and the terrible fallout of WWII & Hiroshima bombing. A bit of history mixed in with snippets of a Japanese American man, his family & friends. I really enjoyed the way Naomi Hirahara portrayed the perspective of Asian American life.
