| Summary |
De la autora superventas del New York Times de Las mujeres de la seda y El jardín de los samuráis, llega una hermosa y evocadora novela histórica sobre una familia estadounidense de origen japonés que tiene como telón de fondo las plantaciones de azúcar de Hawái. Daniel Abe, un joven médico de Chicago, finalmente regresa a Hawái. Él tiene su propia razón para regresar a la casa de su infancia, pero no es para volver a visitar el pasado, a diferencia de su tío Koji. Koji vive con los recuerdos de la madre de Daniel, Mariko, el amor de su vida, y las cicatrices de una vida dura. No ve la hora de ver a Daniel, a quien siempre ha considerado un hijo, pero sabe que ha llegado el momento de contarle la verdad sobre su madre y su padre. Pero la llegada de Daniel coincide con el despertar del volcán Mauna Loa, y su peligroso camino hacia su pueblo despierta pasiones nuevas y antiguas en su comunidad. Alternando entre el pasado y el presente, desde el día de la erupción del volcán en 1935 hasta décadas antes, El color del aire entreteje las historias de Daniel, Koji y Mariko para crear un coro rico, vibrante y agridulce que celebra su vínculo de por vida con unos a otros y a su comunidad inmigrante. A medida que Mauna Loa amenaza sus vidas y medios de subsistencia, también descubre secretos guardados a fuego lento bajo la superficie que fusionan el pasado y el presente, revelando un camino a seguir para todos ellos. |

From the New York Times bestselling author of Women of the Silk and The Samurai's Garden comes a gorgeous and evocative historical novel about a Japanese-American family set against the backdrop of Hawai'i's sugar plantations. Daniel Abe, a young doctor in Chicago, is finally coming back to Hawai'i. He has his own reason for returning to his childhood home, but it is not to revisit the past, unlike his Uncle Koji. Koji lives with the memories of Daniel's mother, Mariko, the love of his life, and the scars of a life hard-lived. He can't wait to see Daniel, who he's always thought of as a son, but he knows the time has come to tell him the truth about his mother, and his father. But Daniel's arrival coincides with the awakening of the Mauna Loa volcano, and its dangerous path toward their village stirs both new and long ago passions in their community. Alternating between past and present--from the day of the volcano eruption in 1935 to decades prior--The Color of Air interweaves the stories of Daniel, Koji, and Mariko to create a rich, vibrant, bittersweet chorus that celebrates their lifelong bond to one other and to their immigrant community. As Mauna Loa threatens their lives and livelihoods, it also unearths long held secrets simmering below the surface that meld past and present, revealing a path forward for them all. |
