Very moving as it engages the well trodden Vietnam tropes alongside the experience of Japanese interned during WW2. The ending in particularly moves it to 4 stars

Phantoms tells the disturbing intertwined stories of two families that are broken apart by World War ll and delicately reunited by old family secrets after the Vietnam war. This is a wonderful novel that traces the effects of war and how it affects so many lives for years and years. The book is well written, the plot was riveting and I was completely drawn into the story. I highly recommend it. Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this book in exchange for an honest review.
