Family and Legacy:  

A book that might satisfy readers of The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman - a story about moral dilemmas, love, and how the past shapes relationships. Like my narrative, it deals with decisions made during wartime and their far-reaching effects. The Railway Man by Eric Lomax - a memoir of forgiveness and reconciliation between a British POW and his Japanese captor during WWII, echoing themes of healing and unexpected alliances. 

Moral Dilemmas and Forgiveness: 

The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng - set in post-World War II Malaysia, this novel explores the lingering scars of war, cross-cultural relationships, and the quest for understanding and reconciliation. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee- a sweeping family saga that spans generations, examining themes of identity, prejudice, and cultural clashes between Koreans and Japanese. The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton - a story about uncovering family secrets and the ripple effects of past actions on present relationships. 

War’s Lingering Effects:

David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars presents a love story amidst the wave of anti-Japanese sentiment in post-WWII America. It delves into issues of prejudice, justice, and how war impacts personal relationships. In a similar vein, Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See is another fitting choice. This elegantly crafted novel weaves together the lives of characters from both sides of World War II, showcasing the essence of humanity during times of conflict.

What sets Entanglement apart?

Entanglement delves into the subtleties of reconciliation—not only between individuals but also between generations. This distinguishes it from other works that focus on resolution as a singular moment rather than a complex, ongoing process. Entanglement's approach to illustrating how seemingly small decisions create profound linkages over time is also unique.

Unlike many of the books mentioned, which centre on specific cultural or national perspectives, Entanglement takes a more universal approach. It explores the shared human experience of conflict and reconciliation, transcending individual wars or cultures to reveal the interconnectedness of our histories and the enduring impact of our choices.
