About This Item
New York:: St Martin's,, (1962). Hardcover first edition -. Very near fine in very good dust jacket (small peeled spot on front cover of dj, toning to spine). First American edition. Rather uncommon second novel by the author best known for "Patch of Blue." Set in Japan in an isolated village on the slopes of a volcano in the years from 1941 to 1945, this is the story of an oddly assorted group of foreign civilians living out the war in near starvation and misery, and especially of the American wife of a Japanese scientist. Kata, born in Australia and married to a Japanese scientist, based this on many of her own experiences, although she commented on how good both her in-laws and her Japanese friends were to her. 206 pp.
