Omschrijving

The Heart of Hyacinth is a novel by Onoto Watanna, originally published in 1903. The story is set in Japan and follows the life of a young woman named Hyacinth, who is half-Japanese and half-American. Hyacinth is raised in Japan by her Japanese mother and American father, but after her father's death, she is sent to live with her American relatives in California.In California, Hyacinth struggles to fit in with her American family and adapt to their customs. She also faces discrimination and racism from those around her due to her mixed heritage. Despite these challenges, Hyacinth falls in love with a young man named Paul, who is also of mixed heritage.The novel explores themes of identity, cultural conflict, and love. It also provides a glimpse into the experiences of mixed-race individuals during the early 20th century. The Heart of Hyacinth is considered an important work in Asian American literature and is notable for its portrayal of a strong, independent female protagonist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
