Set against a controlling dystopian society, those who want to live freely are forced to fight against eradication. This story is about the freedom to love-not just romantically, but across friendship and familial relationships, as well. Lena, Hana, Alex and Julian, as well as many of the supporting characters, are thoughtfully developed and engage the reader at an emotional level.

The War Outside highlights a blight on our country’s past-the forced imprisonment of American citizens without a trial-and Hesse’s story packs a gut-wrenching wallop as a result.Īuthor of the multiple award-winning novel Girl in the Blue Coat, Hesse offers a subtle promise in her new novel-to remember and never repeat this history. Margot feels empathy for Haruko, but she doesn’t share her own secrets because she thinks they are too awful and that revealing them would drive Haruko away. Alienated from all that is familiar, Haruko slowly reveals her fears for her brother’s safety as he serves in the Japanese-American fighting unit.
