Arrives: 17 - 23 Feb

Los Angeles, 1941. Violinist Maddie Kern's life seemed destined to unfold with the predictable elegance of a Bach concerto. Then she fell in love with Lane Moritomo. Her brother's best friend, Lane is the handsome, ambitious son of Japanese immigrants. Maddie was prepared for disapproval from their families, but when Pearl Harbor is bombed the day after she and Lane elope, the full force of their decision becomes apparent. In the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy. When her husband is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie follows, sacrificing her Juilliard ambitions. Behind barbed wire, tension simmers and the line between patriot and traitor blurs. As Maddie strives for the hard-won acceptance of her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America, at tremendous cost. Skillfully capturing one of the most controversial episodes in recent American history, Kristina McMorris draws readers into a novel filled with triumphs and heartbreaking loss-an authentic, moving testament to love, forgiveness, and the enduring music of the human spirit. "Impeccably researched and beautifully written." -Karen White, New York Timesbestselling author

It's really sad

Reviewed in Australia on 27 May 2020

Verified Purchase

It is a good book so I won't spoil the ending. All I will say is that its really depressing and I like happy endings. This book does not have a happy ending. Really wished this had a happy ending. It could have had a happy ending but it didn't. That's why it deserves 4 stars. It evokes strong emotions, nearly made me cry and I never cry.

Bridge to another era

Reviewed in Canada on 17 June 2016

This books deserves a strong 4 stars! As historical fiction it is excellent, and well researched. The author has done a good job of stepping into the era and she has not shied away from the harshness and reality of the time. As is so common, the characters sometimes make decisions that are questionable other than it continues to carry the plot along. Love, family dynamics, wartime necessity and much more figure into the story. I liked the fact that there were twists in the action that were unexpected. I can't help but wonder where the title came from though? I don't recall much about leaves or scarlet. I loved the authors notes at the end giving an explanation of many of the factors she included in the novel.

Loyalty and survival

Reviewed in the United States on 6 February 2016

Verified Purchase

Bridge of Scarlet Leaves is historical fiction at its finest. The author effortlessly weaves facts and fiction, creating a vibrant, heartfelt story of enduring love during a time of war and, in the case of Japanese-Americans, degradation. Maddie Kern is a violinist, seemingly destined for greatness, when she falls in love with Lane Moritomo, her brother's best friend and the son of Japanese immigrants. Despite their families' disapproval, they elope on the eve of the Pearl Harbor attacks. Lane and his family have suddenly become enemies of the nation, about to withstand the hardships, humiliation, and danger that entailed. This book takes us on a journey through relocation camps, the war in the Pacific, and the Homefront. All of the characters in this book undergo dramatic transformations as they struggle to survive the horrors and uncertainties of wartime. Loyalties are tested, injustices are dealt with, and all of them must learn how to survive without losing themselves along the way.

Great Characterization, Story-Telling, and Historical Research Interwoven Together For A Great Novel

Reviewed in the United States on 9 November 2014

Verified Purchase

I've got to give kudos to this author and her attention to historical detail. The reader immediately gets how much research she has put into this and the care she has taken with the littlest of details. And there are just so many areas of WWII explored in this: intimate details of life in Japanese internment camps, the role of Nisei in the army, the horrific life in Japanese POW camps, the huge changes in the daily lives of Japanese American citizens on the West Coast both pre, during, and post war. The author brings it all to life in an astounding way.

The author pays just as much detail on her relationships and the characters in them. Every attachment between our characters is nuanced and has incredible depth. They ebb and flow with the changing events of WWII on the American home front to become something very different than in the beginning of the book. The author takes the time to illustrate how these historical events impact her characters and their lives in wonderful ways. The characters themselves are also varied and show the impact the war has on people. Every single individual goes through varied changes and emerges at the end of the war as a more rounded person, changed for better or worse by the heavy impact of war and prejudice.

I really enjoyed this novel. It tells an intriguing story in a historical setting that is researched well. The characters and their relationships show the author’s skills in the characterization and story-telling department. I would definitely read more books by this author. This was a great introduction to her and the era and setting in general.
