Above the East China Sea

Full disclosure, I received a copy through the Goodreads giveaway.

This started out a little awkward for me and I wasn't sure I was going to get into this book. The first couple of chapters about Luz's life on the military base and her rambling, confused dialogue about the “quasis'” turned me off. I had to put it down for a little while, but then I came back to it and I'm glad I did. The story really started to pick up and I loved learning about the Okinawan history and the contrast to modern day. There were a few too many loose-ends that were too neatly tied up at the end for my taste, but still an intriguing story. Would definitely recommend this if you can get past the first 50 pages!
