How in the world can a caucasion woman write so convincingly as an Asian man who finds himself forced into a WW II internment camp? Pinkston's amazing imagination makes me forget the author, forget the living room chair, forget the telephone as I experience a riveting international adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional WWII History, April 12, 2006

By 

Gordon Ryan (South Pacific) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nothing to regret: Historical novel (Paperback)

Who among us has "Nothing to Regret?" Very few I would imagine. However, I certainly have nothing to regret for having purchased and read this excellent historical fiction saga of a Japanese family during WWII. As they find themselves inserted into Topaz, one of the consolidation centers, (concentration camps) their life changes dramatically, as does the life of their son who determines, as so many young Japanese American men of that era did, to prove their worth and their loyalty to their American home, even if the country didn't return that trust. Tristi Pinkston is an excellent young writer, with empathy far beyond her years for a long gone era. I recommend this book highly to all who seek a good read.

I must admit that before this book I hadn't thought much about the Japanese experience in America during WW2. Wow, did I get a great education with this book. I really loved the story, like nothing I've ever read before. I think Pinkston did a great job and look forward to other books by her.
