Noriko "Nori" Kamiza will not question why her mother abandoned her, or her confinement to the attic of her grandparents' imperial estate. And she will not resist the scalding chemical baths she receives daily to lighten her shameful skin. The illegitimate child of a Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Her grandparents take her in only to conceal her, fearful of a stain on the royal pedigree that they are desperate to uphold in a changing Japan. When chance brings her legitimate older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, the siblings form an unlikely but powerful bond - one their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. -- adapted from jacket 650 0 $a Bildungsromans. 650 0 $a Brothers and sisters $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 650 0 $a Illegitimate children $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Japan $2 lcgft $x Fiction. $x 1945-1989 $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 650 7 $a Racially mixed people $2 lcgft $x Fiction. 650 $a Aristocracy (Social class) $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 $a Family secrets $x Fiction. 650 $a Japanese Americans $x Fiction. 650 $a Kyoto (Japan) $x Fiction. 650 $a Racially mixed children $x Fiction. 775 08 $i Reproduction of (manifestation): 775 08 $a Lemmie, Asha. $t Fifty words for rain $d [New York] : Dutton, [2020] $w (DLC) 2020001700 941 $a 3 952 $l HMPB845 $d 20240210010335.0 952 $l WFPC115 $d 20230216161759.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=75ACC70EAA6F11EC998F19923AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
