I enjoyed this book very much. Don't expect an analysis of the rightness or wrongness of the internment camps. It is really the story of one family told from the perspective of the youngest daughter. For me, the most striking element of the story was how much the young people wanted to show that they were good Americans. Jeanne felt a strange sense of shame because her family was made to feel "other" and distrusted because they could be easily identified as Japanese.
I felt very sympathetic to the father, whose deep sense of pride was so deeply wounded by something that was completely outside his control.
