The Ghosts of Nagasaki - An Excerpt

The Ghosts of Nagasaki by Daniel Clausen




"I can already see the cherry blossoms. Up close they have a subtle beauty, but from where I stand now, on the street a few blocks away from the park, they explode profusely. In a light jacket and jeans, a six-pack of beer in hand, I walk up the mountain toward Tateyama Park. What once was a forest of green has now turned pink, a signal that winter is dead and that spring has come to take its place. I can already see the Japanese families, groups of coworkers, groups of college students, and couples gathering underneath the trees, the light orange of the evening sun beaming softly down on them. Clearly, I think, this is a time for merriment. But the weight where my heart is begs to differ."

This is just a short excerpt from the novel.
