Gail Tsukiyama is a mesmerizing storyteller who focuses on family, tradition, and the solace of nature. Of both Chinese and Japanese descent, she has explored the history and culture of both lands in her many previous novels. A story of two orphaned boys, Street of a Thousand Blossoms evokes a classic vision of a blasted world returning to life.
