ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Japanese Lover” by Isabel Allende is a poignant novel that explores themes of love, loss, and resilience across generations. The story follows Alma Belasco, a Polish immigrant who builds a life in California, hiding a deep, forbidden love with Ichimei Fukuda, a Japanese gardener’s son. Set against the backdrop of World War II and its lasting effects, the novel delves into the complexities of cultural identity, displacement, and the emotional toll of secrets. Through Alma’s relationships with those around her, especially with Irina, a caregiver at Lark House, the book reflects on the healing power of love and friendship.
