商品簡介
The discovered diary of Yoko, a 13-year-old Japanese girl who lived near Hiroshima during the war. The diary is one little girl s vision of her world as it closes in and destroys her. She is a highly intelligent child; but the full weight of Japanese propaganda can be felt through her thoughts and observations; she is also a classic example of the dutiful Japanese daughter, but one with a keenly observant eye. The book consists of Yoko s diary as well as a stirring prologue from Yoko s brother, a diary entry from Yoko s father after her death and a very moving letter of Yoko s death from the woman who nursed Yoko as she died. While the core of the book is Yoko s diary, it would also include information about the war, the Japanese way of life, Hiroshima today and extra material to complete a poignant and comprehensive view of one of history s most horrific events.
