Praise for Evergreen "Hirahara humanizes the struggles of Japanese Americans rebuilding their lives from scratch. Her evocation of Little Tokyo haunts will bring a flood of memories for some Angelenos while introducing a new generation of readers to a pivotal period in L.A. history." -Paula Woods, The Los Angeles Times "I have long been a fan of Naomi Hirahara's writing, but Evergreen may be my favorite of her novels. The mystery is set against the backdrop of Japanese Americans returning to their homes in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo after World War II as they try to rebuild their lives after either having been unfairly held in detention camps or fighting with the 'Go for Broke' battalion, with everyone dealing with different types of discrimination, fear, and trauma. The historical details are accurate, heartrending, and eye-opening." --Lisa See, New York Times bestselling author of The Island of Sea Women Praise for Clark and Division Winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award Winner of The Lefty Award for Best Historical Novel A New York Times Best Mystery Novel of the Year A Parade Magazine 101 Best Mystery Books of All Time A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Washington Post Best Mystery and Thriller of the Year "Searing . . . This is as much a crime novel as it is a family and societal tragedy, filtering one of the cruelest examples of American prejudice through the prism of one young woman determined to assert her independence, whatever the cost." -- The New York Times Book Review "Naomi Hirahara was destined to write Clark and Division . . . The vibrant characters, the history and the aura of determined optimism that permeate the novel make it feel like the beginning of a saga not unlike Jacqueline Winspear's Maisie Dobbs mysteries." -- Los Angeles Times "A rich and vibrant portrayal of Nisei life." -- Los Angeles Review of Books, Praise for Clark and Division Winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award Winner of The Lefty Award for Best Historical Novel A New York Times Best Mystery Novel of the Year A Parade Magazine 101 Best Mystery Books of All Time A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice A Washington Post Best Mystery and Thriller of the Year "I have long been a fan of Naomi Hirahara's writing, but Evergreen may be my favorite of her novels.

Synopsis
Los Angeles, 1946: It's been two years since Aki Ito and her family were released from Manzanar detention center and resettled in Chicago with other Japanese Americans. Now the Itos have finally been allowed to return home to California-but nothing is as they left it. The entire Japanese American community is starting from scratch, with thousands of people living in dismal refugee camps while they struggle to find new houses and jobs in over-crowded Los Angeles. Aki is working as a nurse's aide at the Japanese Hospital in Boyle Heights when an elderly Issei man is admitted with suspicious injuries. When she seeks out his son, she is shocked to recognize her husband's best friend, Babe Watanabe. Could Babe be guilty of elder abuse? Only a few days later, Little Tokyo is rocked by a murder at the low-income hotel where the Watanabes have been staying. When the cops start sniffing around Aki's home, she begins to worry that the violence tearing through her community might threaten her family. What secrets have the Watanabes been hiding, and can Aki protect her husband from getting tangled up in their mess?, A Japanese American nurse's aide navigates the dangers of post-WWII and post-Manzanar life as she attempts to find justice for a broken family in this follow-up to the Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning Clark and Division .

- 2***4 (171)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufSeller shipped out the DVD miniseries called THE KENNEDY'S to me very quickly and it arrived earlier than listed and well wrapped up for the journey. They have great buy two get one free sales and their prices are great. The dvd set was listed as good and it showed up looking as new. I keep coming back to them for their veritery, prices, shipping speed and communication. Don't know yet if it's a good miniseries, but it is a good seller to buy from.
- a***m (715)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem came on time and as described, have already done business with seller as this was a replacement for a refunded defective copy of the same set of DVDs. This copy worked great. The seller refunded my defective copy without hesitation and gladly allowed me to buy again. I will buy from this seller if they have any other DVDs I ever need. This is the kind of seller you want to buy from. They communicate well too.* The DVD set was a fantastic price too, thanks again.!Bones: Season 1 (Nr. 357323090477)
- 0***m (822)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem as described; plays well; quality as described; proper communication; fair price; timely receipt; could have packaged the dvds in a small box rather than a flimsy bag that causes the cases to get broken and chipped and sometimes the dvds get broken. Other than the flimsy bag, everything was great!Vanquish - DVD (Nr. 187300478731)
