The Heart of Hyacinth is a novel written by Onoto Watanna in 1903. It tells the story of Hyacinth Lorrimer, a young woman who is half Japanese and half American. Hyacinth is raised in Japan by her Japanese mother and American father, but after her mother's death, she is sent to live with her father's family in America. In America, Hyacinth struggles to fit in with her new family and the society around her. She falls in love with a young man named Lawrence Grant, but their relationship is complicated by their cultural differences and the disapproval of Lawrence's family. Throughout the novel, Hyacinth grapples with her identity as a mixed-race woman and the challenges she faces in both Japanese and American society. She must navigate the expectations of her family and the prejudices of those around her while trying to find her place in the world. The Heart of Hyacinth is a poignant exploration of race, identity, and the complexities of cultural heritage. It offers a unique perspective on the experiences of mixed-race individuals in the early 20th century and remains a significant work in Asian American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
