After their father's death, Harry, Frank, and Pierce Fukuhara-all born and raised in the Pacific Northwest-moved to Hiroshima, their mother's ancestral home. Eager to go back to his own land-America-Harry returned in the late 1930s. Then came Pearl Harbor. Despite being sent to an internment camp, Harry dutifully volunteered to serve his country. Back in Hiroshima, his brothers Frank and Pierce became soldiers in the Japanese Imperial Army.As the war raged on, Harry, one of the finest bilingual interpreters in the United States Army, island-hopped across the Pacific, moving ever closer to the enemy and to his younger brothers. But before the Fukuharas would have to face each other in battle, the U.S. detonated the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, gravely injuring tens of thousands of civilians, including members of their family.Alternating between the American and Japanese perspectives, Midnight in Broad Daylight captures the uncertainty and intensity of those charged with the fighting and provides a fresh look at the dropping of the first atomic bomb.

写出来的东西浪费了如此有趣的选题。书里侧重描写主角融入美国社会的难度，然而这种题材的作品遍地都是，非战时也很常见。我感兴趣的方面却很单薄，Harry和Frank选边站（参军）的时候没有一点挣扎？Harry作为美国军官到日本的时候他的家人没有一点别扭敌意？本来是战时独有的矛盾，战争的张力却在全书的很多部分都弱化了。PS不觉得有必要掺入大量的日文，感觉非常disruptive（尤其是有声书）…
