Book Reviews of Black Rain: A Novel (Japan's Modern Writers)
Book Review: Heart wrenching, thought provoking, tense drama!
Summary: 5 Stars
Drawn from the diary of a man trapped in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bomb. It is a poignant tale of a man and his struggle to find his family in the chaos and devastation following the bomb, heart wrenching, graphic, sad, even funny at times and yet the main character displays an almost childlike view of many things, as if untouched by the horrors surrounding him. This should be compulsory reading for all of our children, lest we dare to repeat history's saddest day! It brought tears to my eyes to think that man could do such things to his fellow man.
