Publisher Notes

A brilliant tale of love and war, SAYONARA tells the story of Major Lloyd Gruver, son of an army general stationed in Japan, dating a general's daughter, and happy with his life. He didn't understand the soldiers who fell in love with Japanese girls. Then he met Hana-ogi. After that nothing mattered anymore. Nothing but her....

Media Reviews

"'Sayonara' will be much talked about and, before long, much sung about, for like 'Tales of the South Pacific,' which became one of the great musical dramas of our day, 'Sayonara' is already being turned into song and story for the stage. By the very nature of its plot and exotic background it will inevitably rival 'South Pacific'. 'Sayonara' is written with a sensitive feeling for beauty of materials and expressions and it has a quality rarely found in modern fiction--moral conviction."
