English Summary/英文概要： In this poignant and evocative novel by acclaimed author Kristina McMorris, a country is plunged into conflict and suspicion—forcing a young woman to find her place in a volatile world.
Los Angeles, 1941. Violinist Maddie Kern’s life seemed destined to unfold with the predictable elegance of a Bach concerto. Then she fell in love with Lane Moritomo. Her brother’s best friend, Lane is the handsome, ambitious son of Japanese immigrants. Maddie was prepared for disapproval from their families, but when Pearl Harbor is bombed the day after she and Lane elope, the full force of their decision becomes apparent. In the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy.
When her husband is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie follows, sacrificing her Juilliard ambitions. Behind barbed wire, tension simmers and the line between patriot and traitor blurs. As Maddie strives for the hard-won acceptance of her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America, at tremendous cost.
Skillfully capturing one of the most controversial episodes in recent American history, Kristina McMorris draws readers into a novel filled with triumphs and heartbreaking loss—an authentic, moving testament to love, forgiveness, and the enduring music of the human spirit.

1941年，洛杉矶，马蒂•肯恩(Maddie Kern)还是一名小提琴家。对她而言，未来似乎就是在高雅的巴赫协奏曲中拉开帷幕的。不久，马蒂爱上了哥哥的好友雷恩•森友（Lane Moritomo)，一名英俊潇洒，壮志满怀的日本移民后代。不顾双方家族的反对，他们毅然私奔，而此时突如其来的偷袭珍珠港事件让着幸福的一对跌入谷底，他们正为当初俩人的决定承受着巨大的精神压力，在陷入恐慌的美国人眼中，雷恩不在是一名单纯的美国人，他日裔的敏感身份使他成为了危险分子。

PRAISE FOR BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES
“Readers of World War II fiction will devour Kristina McMorris’s Bridge of Scarlet Leaves, a poignant, authentic story of Japanese and American lovers crossed not only by the stars but by the vagaries of war and their own country’s prejudices.”--Jenna Blum, New York Times bestselling author of Those Who Save Us
“An epic romance shot through with enough WWII history to satisfy the most curmudgeonly war buff… McMorris’s sympathetically rendered characters showcase a little-known slice of American history, acknowledge the difficulties and complexities of the era’s patriotism, and offer lessons about integration and prejudice we would do well to remember today.” --Margaret Dilloway, author of How To Be An American Housewife
“An unputdownable love story….A great historical read!”--Lesley Kagen, New York Times bestselling author of Good Graces
“A beautiful, timeless love story, rich in detail and emotion, Kristina McMorris’ words reach right off the page and grab at your heart. An altogether comforting and satisfying read.”--Sarah Jio, author of The Bungalow and The Violets of March
RITA Award finalist and a Holt Medallion Award winner. McMorris uses her unique insight as the American daughter of a Caucasian mother and Japanese immigrant father to spotlight rare perspectives from history. As a young woman, she heard the extraordinary account of a family friend – one who had fought for America in WWII while his brother fought for Japan. Eventually, that tale became the inspiration for Bridge of Scarlet Leaves.
