I just finished <em>Garden of Stones<\/em>, a historical fiction by Sophie Littlefield that is based around the Manzanar internment prison camps for Japanese-Americans. From the subject matter, you expect a sad story of struggle. Yet this book was so much more, and more of a mystery than history. Starting with a murder of an American man in the late 1970s, the story was filled with plot twists and corruption while also exploring deep relationships between a mother, daughter and friends. I was quickly hooked and often found myself sitting in the car, just to finish a chapter.<\/p>\n<p>The book also shed light to the unbelievable treatment some Japanese-Americans faced during WWII as well as the dreadful conditions of the U.S. prison camps. It reminds you of the human perspective as we still struggle with cultural stigmas, inequality and effects of war today. The novel is gently written, realistic and provocative. It grabs you from the start and pulls at your heart. If you are a fan of the Kite Runner and similar historical\/cultural fiction, this one is right up your alley.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size:
