From a great master of historical fiction comes a brilliant tale of love amid war. James A. Michener combines powerful storytelling with deep sensitivity in this novel of a US army man who, against all odds, falls for a fascinating Japanese woman. Stationed in the exotic Far East, Major Lloyd Gruver considers himself lucky. The son of a general, dating the daughter of another powerful military family, he can look forward to a bright future. And he just can't understand guys like Private Joe Kelly, who throw away their lives in the States by marrying local girls. But then Lloyd meets Hana-ogi. After that, nothing matters anymore...nothing but her.
"While he fascinates and engrosses, Michener also educates." Los Angeles Times©1953 James A Michener (P)2015 Random House AudioListeners also enjoyed...

Is there anything you would change about this book?
It is a shame that such a good story was narrated so badly. It sounded as if the narration was just read by someone who stumbled and bumbled his way to the end.Narrated?

I am now at a point in my life where I am “cleaning up” and reading those books of favorite authors I had missed. Which brought me to Sayonara. I don’t know if the book is in any way autobiographical (Mrs Michener is/was Asian) or if Michener just wanted to remind us of how far we have come with respecting other people. Or have we? Just when I think congratulations are in order, I turn on the news.
Have we learned anything from ours nations wars?
