\"Shadow<\/a><\/p>\n

For fans of Tayari Jones and Ruth Ozeki, from National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Rizzuto comes a haunting and suspenseful literary tale set in 1970s New York City<\/a> and World War II<\/a>-era Japan<\/a>, about three strong women, the dangerous ties of family and identity, and the long shadow our histories can cast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Twin sisters Hana and Kei grew up in a tiny Hawaiian town in the 1950s and 1960s, so close they shared the same nickname. Raised in dreamlike isolation by their loving but unstable mother, they were fatherless, mixed-race, and utterly inseparable, devoted to one another. But when their cherished threesome with Mama is broken, and then further shattered by a violent, nearly fatal betrayal that neither young woman can forgive, it seems their bond may be severed forever\u2013until, six years later, Kei arrives on Hana\u2019s lonely Manhattan<\/a> doorstep with a secret that will change everything.<\/p>\n

Told in interwoven narratives that glide seamlessly between the gritty streets of New York<\/a>, the lush and dangerous landscape of Hawaii<\/a>, and the horrors of the Japanese internment camps<\/a> and the bombing of Hiroshima<\/a>, Shadow Child<\/em> is set against an epic sweep of history. Volcanos<\/a>, tsunamis<\/a>, abandonment, racism, and war form the urgent, unforgettable backdrop of this intimate, evocative, and deeply moving story of motherhood, sisterhood, and second chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
