The book Hiroshima describes the aftermath of the atomic bomb that hit Hiroshima, Japan. The story describes two sisters. One of the sisters dies along with her father. The sister who survived was badly burnt and disfigured. In 1955 she traveled to the United States for plastic surgery to correct the disfiguring burns. This book would be helpful to use in understanding the devastation that occurred in Hiroshima. Both the American and Japan sides are explored and related to one another.Laurence Yep is an award winning Chinese-American modern author.
