Cecily Alcantara's family is in terrible danger: her fifteen-year-old son, Abel, has disappeared, and her youngest daughter, Jasmin, is confined in a basement to prevent being pressed into service at the comfort stations. Her eldest daughter Jujube, who works at a tea house frequented by drunk Japanese soldiers, becomes angrier by the day. Cecily knows two things: that this is all her fault; and that her family must never learn the truth. A decade prior, Cecily had been desperate to be morethan a housewife to a low-level bureaucrat in British-colonized Malaya. A chance meeting with the charismatic General Fuijwara lured her into a life of espionage, pursuing dreams of an "Asia for Asians." Instead, Cecily helped usher in an even more brutal occupation by the Japanese. Ten years later as the war reaches its apex, her actions have caught up with her. Now her family is on the brink of destruction--and she will do anything to save them. Spanning years of pain and triumph, told from the perspectives of four unforgettable characters, The Storm We Made is a dazzling saga about the horrors of war; the fraught relationships between the colonized and their oppressors, and the ambiguity of right and wrong when survival is at stake"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. $9 72061 651 0 $a Malaya $x History $y British rule, 1867-1942 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Malaya $x History $y Japanese occupation, 1942-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft $9 83459 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $9 200624 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20240704010542.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032924.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240604014910.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240529010123.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240521010614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=79DD49AC173711EFA068004147ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
