Review
Masako's Story begins with Otake's mother remembering the moment the bomb exploded. How horrible it was. Hell on Earth, she says in the first section titled I Can't Talk About It Today. But as the story unfolds, her mother begins to describe the horrendous sights and sounds following the bombing: children crying for their mother, people burned with their raw flesh exposed, maggots feasting on the victims' wounds, a victim grabbing her ankle as she walked past, only for his burned skin to pull away from his hand. It may be difficult for some readers to get though graphic details such as this, but they open up the harsh reality of the victims' physical pain and despair. The day turned as dark as night,Otake's mother observes during the ordeal. Excerpt from review by Aaron Baldwin --Aaron Baldwin
Product Description
On August 6, 1945, when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, the Furuta family was living about one mile away from the hypocenter. Five-year-old Kikuko, her mother, Masako, and her two brothers barely escaped with their lives. However, their soldier father was not so fortunate. Masako never talked about her family's experiences on that day and the days following the bombing. Then on day, Masako started to talk about what happened -- breaking a silence of nearly fifty years.
