The incredible, heart-breaking and poignant diary of a woman searching for her niece and nephew in the aftermath of the Hiroshima bomb.
As the hibakusha generation begins to disappear, Sadako Okuda's memoir of Hiroshima at Ground Zero in the wake of the atomic bomb is a clarion call to remember the human cost of the final acts of the Pacific War* Mark Selden *
A Dimly Burning Wick should be required reading in every school. It begs the audience to consider the innocents caught in the trajectory of war.... devoid of hatred yet brimming with sadness, it crystallizes the importance of peace. * Jo-Ann Moss, Editor, Raving Dove Literary Journal *

Born in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, in 1914, Okuda was teaching sewing on a small island some 35 miles off Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. Even from that distance, both her sight and hearing on her right side were permanently damaged. From 1960 and until her retirement, she taught home economics at a non-traditional high school in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
