Bridge to the Sun A Memoir of Love and War eBook Gwen Terasaki Mariko Terasaki Miller

I read this years ago after happening across the movie one night on TV (as always, the book is better than the movie). This is a very touching and thoughtful book that makes you consider so many different things. It was intriguing to read about how diplomatic personnel from Japan, Germany, and Italy were put into "isolation" after Dec 7th and how many American women who had married Germans and Italians felt at the prospect of being deported from their own country (one is descried as being "more German than Germans"). A must read for those interested in WWII history from all angles.

Bridge to the Sun A Memoir of Love and War eBook Gwen Terasaki Mariko Terasaki Miller Reviews

This book was recommended to me by a friend from Johnson City, Tennessee. I read the version and was very disappointed to discover that it is so full of incomplete and jumbled sentences. It is a great story, and I stuck with it. Would love to read more about the Teresaki family. Leaving the USA, one's home country, and living in an enemy country during wartime takes a special kind of love and courage. Terry and Gwen had this kind of love.
Having read the original Bridge to the Sun, I was thrilled to find this book online. Big Mistake. Whoever published this book did an extremely poor job of editing. Not only were there misspelled words, often sentences were frequently repeated on the same page. The book was a mess! Very difficult to read even though I had read it a couple of times before. To make matters even worse, I had recommended the book to several of my friends. Was totally embarrassed that the book was so poorly put together.
We lived in Japan in the early 1950s when the country was still recovering from the war. We lived in a rural area, much like Mrs Terasaki lived, but we had an airbase that we lived near (and later - on). My mother had read this book about this time and really enjoyed it. We watched the movie that was made when it came out. I purchased this book for my mother and she was extremely thrilled to re-read it after all this time. I can't wait to get it from her and read it myself.
This is an excellent and true story of true love set in the terrible, turbulent time of World War II. One can get a true, inside look at Japan's gradual aggression throughout Asia and then on to America. One can see from the inside how hopelessness spread throughout Japan as the war went on. The author's husband in particular, a high government official, fell into depression with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and never really recovered. His great hopes for his country, Japan, and relationships with other countries, especially America, were dashed at that moment.

Plus, I appreciate the good condition of the book, exactly as described on your site. I appreciated the bookseller's personal touch and care in sending the book to me in the best possible condition.
This book had a profound impact on me as a young adult when I first read it. In recent months a group of friends and I have been di8scussing the question of treatment of refugees and immigrants. George Takai's stories of Japanese internment reminded me of Gwen Terasaki's story of her leaving America with Japanese diplomatic staff and the abuse heaped upon her and of her family's struggle tolive in wartime Japan. I bought the book to share with my friends who found it very moving
I saw the movie on TMC and enjoyed it so I sent for the book through . The book is so much better because it goes into much more details of this extraordinary American woman who married a Japanese diplomat just prior to Japan attacking us at Pearl Harbor, and goes back to Japan with him when he was deported.
If I could give the story ten stars, I would. But if I could give the book's production negative stars, I'd do that too. The deduction of one star is for the shockingly poor proofing and production on this edition. What a shame. Is it just my copy of the book? No one else here mentions this issue so I'm wondering if I just got a bum copy. The one I was sent is an appalling mess, rife with typos, repeating passages, strange breaks and punctuation, making it at times almost unreadable. It really reflects so poorly on the publisher of this edition that I can't imagine why they're in business. Otherwise the story is fascinating. Terasaki is a fine writer and the photos really add a lot. If everyone's copies are like mine, I'd advise interested readers to locate an older edition of Bridge to the Sun rather than purchasing this particular edition.
