Summary
Hiroshima in the Morning is a memoir by Rahna Reiko Rizzuto about her journey to Japan on a fellowship to research the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. While conducting interviews with survivors, Rizzuto unexpectedly confronts her own family crisis when her marriage begins to unravel from afar. The book interweaves her exploration of historical trauma with deeply personal revelations about identity, motherhood, and marriage. Through this dual narrative, Rizzuto examines themes of loss, survival, and transformation as she navigates both the collective wounds of Hiroshima and her own emotional devastation.
