Cranes at Dusk

Cranes at Dusk is a novel dealing with the transformation of Japanese society in 1945. Although the book specifically recounts the metamorphosis of the Japanese people at the end of World War II, as they adapt to internal turmoils and outside influences, the novel is also a captivating account of the pain, uncertainty, and conflict associated with any process of growth or change. The events of 1945 are seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old Japanese girl, Saya, who, like the author of the book, is the daughter of a Shinto priest in the old imperial city of Kyoto
