Description
The year was 1936. The place was suburban Tokyo. The Shimada children seemed like the other young people in their district, but they were not.
The elder son, Hideo, an army officer, was secretly involved in an organization that only his samurai grandfather could condone.
The elder daughter, Yoko, was intimately involved with a suspected communist.
The younger daughter, Teruko, was dangerously in love with the West and with love itself.
