This book starts with a mystery. Two men have escaped from a Japanese internment camp during WW2 - Harry Yamada and his father, Kenichi. As the police and FBI go to investigate, a plan crashes containing what seems to be the bodies of the escapees. An open and shut suicide case to some. But for agent Bonner, something seems off. As he dives deeper in an attempt to find the truth behind the crash, he uncovers a sweeping story behind a generational feud between the Yamadas and the Thorns. We follow Harry Yamada and Louis Thorn - raised to hate the others family due to their grandfathers’ feud over farming land. They form an unlikely barnstorming duo brought together by chance by Ava Books and her traveling family. We follow them as they travel around depression era Northern California trying to become a successful stunt act while navigating the tense relationship between Harry and Luis. When Pearl Harbor is bombed the Yamadas are at risk and thus begins the unraveling of how the plane crashed with the bodies of Harry and Kenichi.

Told with stunning descriptions of Northern California and amazing detail around Japanese interment this story is one of loyalty, friendship, family and loss.

Eagle Crane Suzanne Rindell Books Reviews

There are many WW2 historical fiction books out there but yet most of them do not explore the subject of Japanese internment camps. So I am thankful the author and publisher decided to make that a focus of the novel.

Louis Thorn and Haruto "Harry" Yamada, aka Eagle and Crane, are part of a daredevil aviation act in the 1930s and 40s. Ava Brooks is the stepdaughter of the owner of the Flying Circus and both young men find her appealing. But everything changes after the Pearl Harbor attack. While authorities conclude Harry and his father, Kenichi, died in a plane crash after escaping from an internment camp, a lone FBI agent thinks this isn't an open and shut case. This is a story about family, loyalty, and an ugly part of American history.

I've always been fascinated with this period of aviation where airplanes were becoming a more common thing but yet there was still a bit of wonder and excitement. I definitely enjoyed the Flying Circus bits of the story and the complicated relationship the men had with one another and with Ava. I thought the backstory of each family really set the stage for what was to come later on in the story.

My only complaint about the book is at times I thought the author fell into the trap of telling how bad internment camps were rather than just letting the story unfold naturally. It felt like I was hearing the voice of the author rather than the characters, if that makes any sense.

Overall, this was a good read that held my interest throughout. Definitely recommend if you enjoy WW2 historical fiction.

Thank you to First to Read for the advance digital copy! I was under no obligation to post a review and all views expressed are my honest opinion.
Loved this book! Written in Rindell's characteristic elegant prose, it captured me immediately and didn't put me down until the end. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Interesting development of characters.
An engaging novel set in California during WWII. It's set up to be a novel about rivalry between two teens who become stuntmen in a traveling airshow, but the conflict turns out to be much richer than the straight-forward rivalry story. One of the young men is of Japanese background, and the troubled history of Japanese interment camps in California becomes a big part of the story. Kudos to the author for the thoughtful and engaging treatment of social history within this page-turner.
This is one of my favorite authors! I want to THANK the author for writing a book that is not only compelling and riveting, but it actually taught me a lot about the Japanese Internment Camps or how difficult it was to be a Japanese American during WWII. There are jaw dropping moments, surprise twists and parts where you contort your face in anguish! An amazing read and I am so glad I have this in my collection of books~
I read a lot of historical fiction, and I love that this one was set in an area of California where I live. Flying stuntmen, Japanese-American racial tension, Pearl Harbor, internment camps, a mystery, and even romance. I enjoyed reading about my hometown areas in the 40s, and although I am familiar with Manzanar, I was not familiar with the Tule Lake Camp. The novel was well written, and I loved that it started out with a flash-forward towards the ending of the story, which set up the mystery, and then flashed back to the events leading up to it. Great ending! Mystery solved, but I didn’t suspect it until the very end.
I expected a lot from this book and got a whole lot more. A transportive tome that gives you the feeling of being right there with the fully-realized characters, this mystery had me trying to put together what I thought was going to happen, second-guessing myself, and ultimately being surprised and (spoiler-free hidden emotion) at the end.

There are little vignettes, mini folk tales within that were just so interesting, they could have even been their own little spin-off books based around their own main characters, and the events they set in motion were very engrossing. I found I was really invested in what was going to happen, and there was so much intrigue there was always a reason I couldn't put it down.

Overall, if you are looking for something to keep you guessing and take you away to another time and place full of interesting people mired in all the love and tragedy life has to offer, this book is for you. I'll be giving it another read to walk back through the mystery with my post-read perspective.
