Book Reviews of Forbidden Family: Wartime Memoir Of The Philippines, 1941-1945 (Wisconsin Studies in Autobiography)
Book Review: Love triumphs.
Summary: 5 Stars
This very interesting autobiography is the story of a conventional young American housewife who becomes separated from her husband in the chaos of the Philippines of 1942 and is imprisoned with her young son in a brutal Japanese internment camp. In her struggle for survival she meets and falls in love with a fellow prisoner, whose child she bears, at great risk, and in the face of opposition from fellow inmates and captors alike.Sams' story, expertly and sensitively edited, is a frank and touching love story as well as an epic of survival, and will be of interest to students of 20th-century American culture and mores as well as WWII readers.
(The "score" rating is an unfortunately ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)
