Eternal Spring of Mr. Ito by Sheila Garrigue

A lovely book. It shows the heartache of WWII in Canada through the eyes of an evacuee. We see the Canadian internment camps and the losses that the characters experience. One brave young girl who is a friend to a Japanese family. Really well told. Loosely based on the experiences of the author who was an evacuee herself.
