Reviews

While telling her family story, Suzanne Hartmann explores displacement, belonging, and race, and celebrates the struggle to preserve a Japanese presence in Canada. This lively story makes a significant contribution to the cultural conversation. * Ken McGoogan, author of Shadows of Tyranny * With insight and integrity, Hartmann deftly weaves light and dark threads of personal experience, family lore, and Japanese Canadian history into a handcrafted kimono that captures the beautiful imperfections of life. * Raymond K. Nakamura, cartoonist and author of Peach Girl *
