Forgiveness: A Gift from My Grandparents
The heart-rending true story of two families on either side of the Second World War-and a moving tribute to the nature of forgiveness.
In a typically understated and generous Canadian way, Mark Sakamoto has shared his family's sweet and bitter moments. Forgiveness is a family saga that documents important moments in Canada's history, and their ramifications.
“Through stories of starvation and suffering, outright racism and imprisonment, Sakamoto offers a distinct and dark vantage point to Canadian history: one that does away with any geopolitical binaries of good and evil.” -- The Globe and Mail
