Love in the Library

內容簡介

內容簡介 戰俘營裡也可能有愛情嗎？ 根據真實故事改編。故事發生在二戰期間，關押日裔美國人的監禁營，感人的故事讓人在心碎中找到希望。珍珠港事件後，西岸的日裔美國人，不管老少或嬰兒，都被送到像 Minidoka這樣的戰俘營裡。這裡，人心徬徨，不知何時才能離開，重獲自由。女孩Tama也不例外，她不想緬懷過去的美好，只能認真過好現在的每一天，於是她選擇到營地的小圖書館工作，在充滿色彩和光芒、愛和公平的書頁中尋求慰藉。每天早上，男子George都會出現在圖書館門口，手裡懷抱著之前借的一大疊書籍。Tama很好奇，有人可以看書看這麼快的嗎？Tama會是George每天來這裡的原因嗎？愛情是珍禮，但是戰俘營裡也可能有嗎？後記中，有Tama 和 George（作者的祖父母）的照片其他背景材料，讓讀者更瞭解歷史，引起共鳴。Set in an incarceration camp where the United States cruelly detained Japanese Americans during WWII and based on true events, this moving love story finds hope in heartbreak. To fall in love is already a gift. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren't human--that was miraculous. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast--elderly people, children, babies--now live in prison camps like Minidoka. To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn't know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp's tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn't the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall's beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George--the author's grandparents--along with an afterword and other back matter for readers to learn more about a time in our history that continues to resonate."
