| | Synopsis
|
First published to critical acclaim in 1986, Naomi's Road is the story
of a girl whose Japanese-Canadian family is uprooted during the Second
World War. Separated from their parents, Naomi and her brother Stephen
are sent to an internment camp in the interior of British Columbia.
For the young girl growing up, war only means that she can no longer
return to her home in Vancouver, or see her parents. Told from a
child's point of view and without a trace of anger or malice, Naomi's
Road has been praised as a powerful indictment of the injustice of war
and the government's treatment of Japanese-Canadian citizens, both
during and well after World War II.
