Synopsis

Two lost men, each with a shot at redemption that's bound to a mysterious manuscript.

Kichiro Nakamura has lived on the edges of two cultures, a white foundling raised by Japanese parents in a small California fishing village. He dreams of getting published in the science fiction pulps, but the bombs that fall on Pearl Harbor destroy that dream. Struggling to hold on to his fragile identity, Kichiro must decide who he wants to be, but in a world torn by war and heartache, every choice means losing part of himself.

Decades later, recently bereaved professor Derek Chandler discovers a manuscript concealed in a former mental hospital and finds comfort in the distraction of searching for its author. But the search seems to die in a village that was levelled during World War II. There's one old woman who may still know the truth, but she's not talking, and her tattoo-artist granddaughter is blocking Derek's attempts to get any closer to the answers he seeks--answers he needs if he's going to complete his own healing journey.

Moving between modern and historical Los Angeles, Foundlings portrays grief, obsession, and redemption, along with the desperate need of the lost to be found.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Derek Chandler had it all—the education, the promising future, the beautiful wife—but a tragic accident changed everything and his life now stands in ruins. Haunted by the ghosts of what might have been, Derek tries to lose himself in his new job, but what begins as a minor academic mystery soon unravels, leaving him with the burden of a second truncated life: that of long-vanished science fiction writer, Kichiro Nakamura. Convinced that finding Kichiro is somehow the key to finding his own peace, Derek is drawn into a frantic search of modern and post-war Los Angeles as he tries to reconstruct the shattered kaleidoscope of American and Japanese cultures. And the key to everything just might be the beautiful—and very suspicious—tattoo artist, Yuki Kamikaze.
