Interpretation To Books The Japanese Lover

In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis, young Alma Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. Unnoticed by those around them, a tender love affair begins to blossom. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled apart as Ichimei and his family, like thousands of other Japanese Americans are declared enemies and forcibly relocated to internment camps run by the United States government. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the world.

Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to terms with her own troubled past, meets the elderly woman and her grandson, Seth, at San Francisco's charmingly eccentric Lark House nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma, eventually learning about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret passion that has endured for nearly seventy years.

Piece Of Books The Japanese Lover

Interesting story idea, but too many disjointed and melodramatic plot lines, too much telling vs. showing, and totally lacking in the lyrical prose of some of her earlier books. This one felt formulaic and thrown together.

3 stars"We are all born happy. Life gets us dirty along the way, but we can clean it up. Happiness is not exuberant or noisy, like pleasure or joy; it's silent, tranquil, and gentle; it's a feeling of satisfaction inside that begins with self-love." Alma Belasco knows that happiness is not an easy achievement. After years of learning and growing and forgiving herself for choices she has made, the aging Alma knows a thing or two about living life and feeling fulfilled. Separated from her parents

3.5 After overcoming my initial reaction that this novel would not have the depth which Allende was noted for in her earlier novels (and it did not)I realized that this was a very good story. It touched on some very important historical events: the Nazis, the attack on Pearl harbor and its resulting Japanese interment camps, cultural differences and expectations, aids and homosexuality as well as child pornography and sexual abuse. I did, however, have a problem with Ada throughout much of this

I fell in love with Isabel Allende's writing when I was in high school. I still remember the first sentence of the first book I ever read of her's: "Barrabas came to us by sea". At the time Allende wrote sweeping historical novels that predominately took place in her native land Chile. Yet, her writing style changed in the many years she has been in the United States, branching out to write crime novels and even some books geared toward young adults. The passion she wrote with in books like

When I started reading Isabel Allende's The Japanese Lover, I liked it well enough but I wasn't feeling anything special. I think I was suffering a bit from the high expectations that come with reading a book by Allende. But as I got deeper into it, I found myself really drawn in by the story and characters. It doesn't have the intense richness of The House of Spirits or some of Allende's other books set in Latin America, but Allende's particular ability to weave characters and their stories and

Very good book. A story told throughout several decades. And some stories told were "gasp" worthy.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.I have long loved the poetic voice of Isabel Allendes novels. A few of her recent novels left me not quite satisfied so I was very anxious to read The Japanese lover. In this book I feel as though she has returned to her very strong characters, with complicated but fully developed background history for all, not only the major players but some of the minor ones as well. The book is about loving, giving, forgiving and
