Yeah! Really enjoyed this story sharing the lives of 2 American women who by their ancestry of immigrant parents were taken to internment camps during ww2.
Elise is the daughter of German parents. When ww2 begins, her father is sent to a camp as suspected sympathizer for the Nazi party. They end up joining him later on where she meets her new and best friend Marika, who has also been sent to the camp due to her Japanese parents being suspected of being sympathetic to Japan.

I would probably rate this a 2.5. I thought it was interesting to learn about the WWII internment camps, which I didn't know much about, but subject matter is not enough to make a book good. I never really felt connected with the characters and the big friendship between Elise and Meriko was only a very small part of the book. Their time together was glossed through pretty quickly.
