From New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende, "a magical
and sweeping" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) love story and
multigenerational epic that stretches from San Francisco in the
present-day to Poland and the United States during World War II. In
1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis, young Alma
Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and
uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There, as the rest
of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet
and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. Unnoticed by
those around them, a tender love affair begins to blossom.
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly
pulled apart as Ichimei and his family--like thousands of other
Japanese Americans--are declared enemies and forcibly relocated to
internment camps run by the United States government. Throughout
their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but
theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the
world. Decades later, Alma is nearing the end of her long and
eventful life. Irina Bazili, a care worker struggling to come to
terms with her own troubled past, meets the elderly woman and her
grandson, Seth, at San Francisco's charmingly eccentric Lark House
nursing home. As Irina and Seth forge a friendship, they become
intrigued by a series of mysterious gifts and letters sent to Alma,
eventually learning about Ichimei and this extraordinary secret
passion that has endured for nearly seventy years. Sweeping through
time and spanning generations and continents, The Japanese Lover is
written with the same keen understanding of her characters that
Isabel Allende has been known for since her landmark first novel
The House of the Spirits. The Japanese Lover is a moving tribute to
the constancy of the human heart in a world of unceasing change.
