A sensitively told, powerful anti-war novel paralleling
the permanently scarred lives of Emiko Amai, a Japanese-American filmmaker,
whose entire family was killed in the bombing of Hiroshima, of Anton
Böll, a morally torn and emotionally crippled scientist, who worked
on the development of the bomb at Los Alamos, and of Böll's neglected
wife Sophie.
