Summary Kyoto, Japan, 1948. "If a woman knows nothing else, she should know how to be silent. . . . " Such is eight-year-old Noriko "Nori" Kamiza's first lesson. The illegitimate child of a Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Though her grandparents take her in, they do so only to conceal her. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life for what it is, despite her natural intellect and nagging curiosity. But when chance brings her legitimate older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him the first person who will allow her to question, and the siblings form an unlikely but powerful bond, a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead.
