My Brother, My Sister, and I

Sequel to So Far From the Bamboo Grove. Thirteen-year-old Yoko and her older brother and sister live in abject poverty in Japan at the end of World War II. When the clog factory warehouse they call home is destroyed by fire, their lives become even more desperate, particularly when Yoko’s sister, Ko, is injured and must be hospitalized and her brother, Hideyo, is accused of murder. “Beautifully direct and emotionally honest.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review.
