That Opal was a hoot!  I couldn’t believe the transformation of this lady from the beginning to the end of the book.  I was grinning from ear to ear as I heard her, her spunk, determination, and compassion just fell out of the book.  Being a black woman, she knew exactly where her place was but that wasn’t a place were Opal wanted to be. If you think about the time period that Opal and Nev were an item (1970’s), equality was a hot issue.  Liberation, racism, and equal rights were being sought after and it seemed that everyone was on edge. 

On stage, I could only image what their performance was like and I would have loved to just see them up close.  I doubt any performance was ever the same as their personalities, feelings, and the chemistry of the stage all came into play when they took the stage. Opal seemed to be the one who pushed their performances, who shined, while Nev filled in where he was needed and he worked on other matters. 

Set up like an interview, this book is an oral history of the lives of Opal Jewel and Nev Charles, a singing duo from 1970’s.  I loved the book, Daisy Jones and the Six so I knew I would enjoy this book also.  The two books are alike yet they’re different.  I liked how this book was an interview which consists of flashbacks that told the story of Opal and Nev.  We hear from their friends and family, they speak about their ups and their downs, and we forget that this book is a work of fiction. As I read the book, I imagined hearing Opal’s voice as she talked about her relationship with Nev and then, I had to get the audio of this book to actually hear her words being spoken.  Her voice brought strength to the words that I had previously read, for it solidified what I had previously thought about her.  I really enjoyed the audio version of this book and the books was fantastic also, I got the best of both worlds!   

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Simon & Schuster in exchange for an honest opinion.

Another fantastic evening is ending, and you notice you have had a few more drinks than usual — a hangover is on the way. No one enjoys a hangover, and if we are fortunate and drink responsibly, we will only get one occasionally. However, if you do get one, these are the top Hangover Cure methods to cure it.

Before Going To Bed, Drink Water

Our impulses can kick in after a lengthy night partying, and for most of us, that means going directly to bed. However, going to bed without at least two large cups of water would be a disaster. When we drink, our livers extract water from every nook and cranny of your bodies in order to metabolize the alcohol, leaving us parched. Dehydration causes the pounding headache you get first thing in the morning, so take a few cups of water before bed to begin the rehydration process.

Get Up And Exercise

Go for a run, ride your bike, or simply perform jumping jacks or yoga. The goal is to increase the amount of blood flowing through your body so that toxins may be removed. The doctor prescribed thirty minutes of moderate activity with some sweating.

Consume A Banana And Take Two More Glasses Of Water

Many individuals swear by coconut water to help them recover from a hangover, but two glasses of water and a banana will do the Hangover Cure trick just as well. You could also add a teaspoon of salt to one of those cups of water to help your body replace the sodium it has lost.

Eat Two Eggs

It is crucial to consume two eggs the morning after a hangover, whether hardboiled, scrambled, or fried. Cysteine, an amino acid present in eggs, is required by your body, particularly your liver, it is good for Hangover Revival and lot of the stress. Avoid a greasy dinner by having eggs and maybe a piece or two of whole-wheat toast. While your mind may tell you that grease is the route to go, it will just make you feel terrible afterwards.

Pick Up Sliced Watermelon

The last thing your body wants is sugar, and pieces of watermelon are the ideal delivery vehicle. The watermelon delivers additional moisture as well as glucose, which is required for the production of glucose, which your body converts into energy. You lost the majority of your glucose previous night on your multiple trips to the bathroom in between beverages, so you will not feel completely refreshed until you replenish it.

These five steps must have you feeling completely new, but just in case, take it easy for the rest of the day. Eat properly, avoid greasy foods, and cut back on your drinking the next time.

This manga begins with a little about Hiroshima's history and then the dropping of the atomic bomb on August 6, 1945. Each chapter covers one aspect of Hiroshima's post-bombing reconstruction and revival.

The first few chapters were dedicated to more immediate reconstruction efforts: restoring electricity, water, and gas (Chapter 1), restarting a streetcar service (Chapter 2), and reopening banks (Chapter 3). The next few chapters dealt with activities that began soon after the bombing and covered more of their history up to the present: getting legal commerce going again in the midst of a thriving black market (Chapter 4), the history of the company now known as Mazda and its three-wheeled truck (Chapter 5), reopening schools (Chapter 6), and getting the municipal government up and running again and acquiring funding for Hiroshima's reconstruction (Chapter 7). The last few chapters felt a bit more removed from the bombing than the rest, but still tied into Hiroshima's overall revival: providing cinema, music, and books to citizens again (Chapter 8), evolving a new local food culture (Chapter 9), and the history of the Hiroshima Carp baseball team (Chapter 10).

I found this volume at a used bookstore and realized, as I was googling it, that it's apparently impossible to buy online - no listings at all for it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and AbeBooks, and the book itself didn't include an ISBN or any sort of English-language publisher I recognized. Although the translation generally seemed good, the font choices and text arrangement didn't look very professional, which added to my suspicion that I'd somehow bought a bootleg book. However, I think I've solved the mystery! This review mentions that the English language edition of this work can be purchased in the Hiroshima Peace Museum's shop. Which explains how a few libraries have managed to add it to their collections and makes me feel better about donating it to my own library.

Okay, now on to the content. For the most part, I thought this was a good overview of the Hiroshima reconstruction efforts. I didn't know much about the work that went into it, and the most interesting chapters, for me, were the first three. It amazed me how much folks were able to accomplish only a couple days after the bomb dropped (and I couldn't help but worry about the effect the post-bombing radiation had on those people). I wish I could have learned more about Haruno Horimoto, the girl who volunteered to run the one functional streetcar. The streetcar chapter ended with the closing of the school that was perhaps the only home those girls still had.

The commerce chapter was the weakest and most confusing one in the volume, and seemed less focused on the people involved than the much more effective chapter on reopening the banks that came before it. The second weakest chapter was probably the baseball one, which felt out of place. More than in any other chapter, I could also feel the undercurrents of drama that the author was trying to simplify and smooth over (team management changing repeatedly, the incident with Joe Lutz and the umpire). And I don't know if the bit with the kid donating his allowance to the team actually happened, but it seemed like a particularly in-your-face bit of schmaltz in a volume that was already somewhat prone to playing up sentimental moments and details.

This isn't really something you can go into with the same expectations you'd have for fiction. The dialogue is a bit stilted, for example, and there were times I struggled to tell some of the people apart ("was that one guy with glasses the same guy who spoke up just a few pages ago? oh, yes he was!"). And I wish a bit more care had been put into its lettering - it looked like it was done by someone who hadn't had much experience with it. Dialogue was usually in a Times New Roman-like serif font, while narration was usually in an Arial-like sans-serif font, although occasionally narration used the serif font. And I came to really appreciate the tricks professional letterers use to indicate that text in one panel would be continuing in another, because they were absent in this volume, and it was occasionally jarring to discover that a sentence I had thought might be finished wasn't actually done yet.

Overall, though, I felt this was a really worthwhile and informative read, despite its issues.

Extras:

A postscript with details on some of the overseas efforts to aid Hiroshima's recovery and reconstruction. There's also what appears to be a fairly lengthy bibliography, but all the entries are in Japanese.

Rating Note:

I debated between 3.5 stars and 4. It probably wouldn't have been as much of a debate if I hadn't known, from reading Ichi-F, that this really could have been done better. However, 3.5 stars felt a bit like kicking a puppy - this is such an earnest and heartfelt volume, and I did learn quite a bit from it. And who knew that reopened banks could make me cry? So, 4 stars it is.

Apologies to the Booklikes librarians for what the catalog entry for this book looks like. This is one of my most mysterious used bookstore finds ever. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of bootleg edition, because I don't think the original Japanese work has ever officially been translated into English and this book has no ISBN or recognizable non-Japanese publishing company listed on it.
