Free (Kindle) Sophie and the Rising Sun [WWII Interracial Romantic Thriller]

Sophie and the Rising Sun by Augusta Trobaugh is some sort of WWII-flashback historical mystery/thriller-looking thing which seems based on the ambiguous ultimate fate of a budding Japanese/Caucasian interracial couple's romance* in the small-town US South in the aftermath of Pearl Harbour, if I'm reading the reviews right. This is free courtesy of Southern-fiction specialty publisher Bell Bridge Books.

Currently free @ Amazon UK and will likely drop in the main store as well. I certainly hope this one shows up free elsewhere, as it looks quite interesting and I think I might actually read this one.

WARNING: DON'T scroll down to see the categories this book is assigned to at Amazon. They may constitute spoilers for how it all turns out, depending on whether or not the listings are accurate.

Description
In sleepy Salty Creek, Georgia, strangers are rare.

When a quiet, unassuming stranger arrives—a Japanese man with a secret history of his own—he becomes the talk of the town and a new beginning for lonely Sophie, who lost her first love during World War I.

Middle-aged Sophie had resigned herself to a passionless existence. That all begins to change as she finds herself drawn to the mysterious Mr. Oto. When the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, Mr. Oto's newfound life comes under siege; his safety, even in Salty Creek, is no longer certain. Sophie must decide how much she is willing to risk for a future with the man who has brought such joy into her life.


* Historically speaking, this is probably going to have a really downer ending.
