Japan 1957. Seventeen year old Naoko Nakamura’s prearranged marriage would secure her family’s status. But she is in love with an American sailor, whose child she is carrying. When found out, she is disgraced and banished by her family.
American, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori travels to a remote seaside village in Japan where she confronts the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption.
In breathtaking prose and inspired by true stories from a devastating and little-known era in Japanese and American history, The Woman in the White Kimono illuminates a searing portrait of one woman torn between her culture and her heart, and another woman on a journey to discover the true meaning of family.
