A stunning debut chronicling a Japanese family’s life on the windswept coast of central California and the tragedy of their forced removal and incarceration during World War II

A young woman walks down a snowy sidewalk in a Midwestern city. It is 1944, the country is at war, and this is not her home. Rather, she returns in memory to her upbringing on a wild and astonishingly beautiful piece of land: Point Lobos, California.

There, it is the 1930s. And while her family’s commitment to their new country is unshakable, their private rituals are Japanese—ways of bathing and cooking, her father’s sumi-e painting, and a profound respect for nature’s gifts and its dangers. Indeed, dangers await—an unimaginable murder, the suggestion of love, and lack of opportunity all ignite her first consciousness of race. And then comes the towering wave that will sweep away everything she knows—the mass removal of Japanese Americans, stripped of their rights and transported to prison camps in the spring of 1942.

Told with tenderness and rage, The Rogue Wave recounts the losses every family feels, but also the senselessness of history not every family is lucky enough to escape. In this unforgettable American journey, Melia di Kodani paints a powerful portrait of an era whose injustices mirror those of our own.

批評家のレビュー

“Melia di Kodani's debut novel The Rogue Wave is a spare, deeply lyrical beauty. This is the story of a Japanese American family in those treacherous years leading up to and including the Second World War. It is also a lovesong to the magic of California's central coast. Di Kodani has written an explosive historical fiction with the grace of a prose poem.” —Hannah Lillith Assadi, author of Paradiso 17
