This novel flows through the memories of Bin \\\"Ben\\\" on a road trip across Canada to revisit the site of the internment camp his family was relocated to following Pearl Harbor. We learn about his life during those years, the fracturing of his family, the building of his new family and the shadows that have followed him. It was both instructive, in that we were unaware of many of the aspects of the Canadian internment system and, in part, beautifully written. Bin is a painter, Ms. Itani\\\'s descriptions of his work is quite beautiful, as well as the music of his second father. However, there were moments of cliched writing and uninspired stretches of story telling. In general, the book was liked, but not found to be particularly exceptional.
