I read this years ago after happening across the movie one night on TV as always, the book is better than the movie. This is a very touching and thoughtful book that makes you consider so many different things. It was intriguing to read about how diplomatic personnel from Japan, Germany, and Italy were put into "isolation" after Dec 7th and how many American women who had married Germans and Italians felt at the prospect of being deported from their own country one is descried as being "more German than Germans".
A must read for those interested in WWII history from all angles.
If I could give the story ten stars, I would. But if I could give the book's production negative stars, I'd do that too. The deduction of one star is for the shockingly poor proofing and production on this edition. Read more Read less. Browse a new selection of discounted Kindle Books each month.

Bridge to the Sun: A Memoir of Love and War Paperback – October 27, Bridge to the Sun is a beautiful, tender, and moving love story-the true report of an international.
The story is quite harrowing. It comes with a wonderful introduction by the daughter of the Terasaki couple. Having parents from different countries on opposite sides in WWII myself I can relate to her a little. I say a little because having been born in the 's I have never been forced to experience the deprivations of war as she had. My only grumble is that the reprint comes with so many typos. I am glad however that this story was not lost. Not only written down and published years ago but available again today.
