I feel like reading a book about Hiroshima was what really pulled me in to this novel, and I thank Isobel at Blackthorn Book Tours for this opportunity to read and review this book for a blog tour. I remember going to Hiroshima for the first time and I was in tears almost the whole time. Being there and seeing the memorials for Sadako and the others that were killed by the atomic bomb – both instantly and years later through radiation – made me feel like I was surrounded by the ghosts of the past.

This book may not have been specifically about what happened in Hiroshima during WWII or anything, but having a book that takes place there had the opportunity to mean something special to me.
