A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

“The author weaves a compelling tale, which is all the more poignant as it
reminds readers of the shameful treatment of Japanese Americans, along with the
racial prejudice still at work. A must-read.”
—Library Journal, Starred Review

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

“Hirahara expertly folds this crime story into her insightful and fully realized
portrait of postwar America and the struggles of Japanese Americans to come to
terms with the American society that had imprisoned them during the war... A
thought-provoking noir with a searing period flavor.”
—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

“I have long been a fan of Naomi Hirahara's writing, but Evergreen may be my
favorite of her novels. The historical details are accurate, heartrending, and
eye-opening.”

“Hirahara provides a visceral account of the hardships facing Japanese Americans
during and just after WWII, and her lucid prose elevates this above standard
mystery fare. It’s a memorable outing.”

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK: CLARK AND DIVISION

WINNER
Bill Gottfried Memorial Lefty Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel
Simon & Schuster Mary Higgins Clark Award
Macavity Award for Best Historical Mystery Novel

Twenty-year-old Aki Ito and her parents have just been released from Manzanar,
where they have been detained by the US government since the aftermath of Pearl
Harbor, together with thousands of other Japanese Americans. The life in
California the Itos were forced to leave behind is gone; instead, they are being
resettled two thousand miles away in Chicago, where Aki’s older sister, Rose,
was sent months earlier and moved to the new Japanese American neighborhood near
Clark and Division streets. But on the eve of the Ito family’s reunion, Rose is
killed by a subway train.

Aki, who worshipped her sister, is stunned. Officials are ruling Rose’s death a
suicide. Aki cannot believe her perfect, polished, and optimistic sister would
end her life. Her instinct tells her there is much more to the story, and she
knows she is the only person who could ever learn the truth.
