Historical
Oceans and decades apart, two women are inextricably
bound by the secrets between them. Japan, 1957. Seventeen-year-old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged
marriage to the son of her father’s business associate would
secure her family’s status in their traditional Japanese
community, but Naoko has fallen for another man—an American
sailor, a gaijin—and to marry him would bring great
shame upon her entire family. When it’s learned Naoko
carries the sailor’s child, she’s cast out in disgrace and
forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that
will ripple across generations. America, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying
father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation—one
that calls into question everything she understood about
him, her family and herself. Setting out to learn the truth
behind the letter, Tori’s journey leads her halfway around
the world to a remote seaside village in Japan, where she
must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for
redemption. In breathtaking prose and inspired by true stories from a
devastating and little-known era in Japanese and American
history, The Woman in the White Kimono illuminates
a searing portrait of one woman torn between her culture and
her heart, and another woman on a journey to discover the
true meaning of home.
