The Alafaya Book Club’s November selection is “The Japanese Lover” by Isabel Allende. In 1939, Alma Belasco is sent from Poland to San Francisco, where she meets — and falls for — the Japanese-American, Ichimei Fukuda. But after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are pulled apart. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the world.
