He wants to be happy with the woman he loves but she was taken away from him in the hands of a gang of white kids.

Will he find another love that will make his heart beat again?
 
“Groves’ debut historical novel, set in mid-20th-century Japan, is a well-tempered story of cultural dislocation, the ruin of war and faith in love…Lively, illuminatingly exotic and richly told tale of life during wartime.” This is a Kirkus Review that testifies the overall greatness of the book. In fact, Jiro’s Dream was also rated as one of the Best of 2012 books by Kirkus when it was first released.
