A collection of letters that document the catastrophe of Hiroshima. The author - a professor of history at Hiroshima University - spent several days after bomb searching for his wife and son. His joy on being re-united with them was short-lived as radiation sickness took his wife ten days later.
First sentence: That was what you said, the words coming out in broken phrases, when I finally found you alive on the night of August 7.
