HTML:<b>A <i>Good Morning America</i> Book Club Pick and <i>New York Times</i> Bestseller!<br />  <br /> From debut author Asha Lemmie, “a lovely, heartrending story about love and loss, prejudice and pain, and the sometimes dangerous, always durable ties that link a family together.” —Kristin Hannah, #1 <i>New York Times–</i>bestselling author of <i>The Nightingale</i><br /></b><br /> Kyoto, Japan, 1948. <i>“Do not question. Do not fight. Do not resist.”</i><br /> Such is eight-year-old Noriko “Nori” Kamiza’s first lesson. She will not question why her mother abandoned her with only these final words. She will not fight 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 skin.<br /> The child of a married 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. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intellect and curiosity. But when chance brings her older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him an unlikely ally with whom she forms a powerful bond—a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. Because now that Nori has glimpsed a world in which perhaps there is a place for her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it—a battle that just might cost her everything.<br /> Spanning decades and continents, <i>Fifty Words for Rain</i> is a dazzling epic about the ties that bind, the ties that give you strength, and what it means to be free.
