Publisher's Synopsis
concetta principe writes: Essentially, Hiroshima: A love war story is a 'working-through' of a period in my past that happened to coincide with the end of the cold war period and its politics. In the sense that we are born into circumstances and live out those circumstances without any foreknowledge, we unconsciously absorb responsibility for the historical events that led to the contemporary circumstances. The personal is imbricated by the political. My book owes a special debt to Marguerite Duras for showing us Hiroshima through her personal broken love story.
