Beschreibung

Following on the heels of her acclaimed graphic novel debut, Coming to Canada (At Bay Press), singular artist and storyteller Starkie Mak returns with an intimate story about family secrets. Her grandfather, fighting in WW2 for imperialist Japan, is captured and taken as a POW in the USA. Unable to return to Japan, he is disgraced by his own government and forgotten by his own family. Until now. Mak tells a story of secrets, love and one man's longing for the simplest of things, to taste his favourite street treat, Taiyaki.
