Description:... The word "itsuka" means "some day," and refers to the Japanese-Canadian fight for redress following their evacuation and internment by the government during World War II. Naomi recalls how her idyllic childhood in British Columbia was ended; and after the death of her gentle guardians, Naomi is persuaded to leave the prairies and move to Toronto with her activist Aunt Emily. Thrust into the redress movement, Naomi becomes involved in the political battle, and in a romance with fellow activist Cedric, an Anglican priest. Sequel to "Obasan."
