The Bamboo Heart Review by Publishers Weekly The harrowing details of a young American soldier's experiences as a POW in the Philippines during WWII is at the heart of this novel. Steven McGee grew up poor outside of Boston, and his lifeline was friendships with a Japanese boy, Brow, and their mutual crush, Flo. When Brow's parents decide to move to Japan because of growing racism in America, the three make a vow of friendship, and soon after Flo joins the Red Cross, leaving Steven alone, until he joins the navy and trains to be a pilot. Tragedy strikes when Steven's plane drops into the ocean and, along with a compatriot, he is captured by the Japanese. What follows is a graphic account of the miserable, desperate daily life of the POWs. Much of the story is told via flashbacks as an elderly McGee, resting in a clinic for war veterans in Cambridge, Mass., relates his story to nurse Mary (who we learn at the beginning of the novel has more than a professional interest in McGee). This story-within-a-story has promise.
