In 1871 Andrew Napier and Fujio Hodokawa found a large silk textile mill in Nagasaki. Two generations later, relatives are Harvard classmates and best friends. The story starts in 1936 as love is growing between Douglas's son, Max and Tadashi's daughter, Shizuea. This is not a great idea because of mixed blood. Great novel about love and tradition especially during WWII.
