a boy called h

finally got my hands on senoh kappa's a boy called h, a semi-autobiographical novel about a boy growing up in wartime japan.

engaging, touching, and sometimes funny, it is a very human story. what begins as the story of a non-conformist ultimately becomes an insight into world war two from japan's perspective through the eyes of H: the lies, the propaganda, the dilemma, the destruction, the relief...everything.

in war, everyone suffers.
