Book 7, Bones Into Dust takes place more than three years after the war has officially ended. Gen's father, sister and brother were killed during the blast, and his mother now suffers from radiation sickness. Gen's older brother Koji has left to work in a coal mine to earn money for the family, leaving Gen and his younger brother Akira to care for their sick mother and find food and medical care. Gen has befriended an older man and a group of street orphans who develop scheme after scheme to find food, raise money, or steal what they need. The old man has written a novel called The End of Summer about the atomic bomb and its effects on Hiroshima that he wants to have published before he dies of radiation sickness.The book opens with the orphans devising a plan to get the book published. When all the regular publishers have turned them down because they fear reprisal from the Americans, Ryuta, one of the orphans, suggests asking the prison print shop to print the books. All they need to do is find the money to buy the paper for the printing. Finding the money is a challenge that they solve. Once they have the book published and are distributing it, they are picked up by the local police and taken to a U.S. military base for interrogation.Meanwhile Gen's mother continues to decline from her bomb-induced radiation sickness, and Gen's older brother Koji, now a depressed alcoholic, returns from the mines. The last section of the book reunites the family as the boys try to make Gen's mother happy in her last days. The subtitle Bones Into Dust refers to the cremation remains of Gen's mother as the family deals with yet another loss. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great history *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2022* Great history... It comes from the heart. Great to ha e and read for any age... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A shocking glimpse into the lives of A-bomb victims in post-war Hiroshima *by E***1 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2013* As a history lover, I am always trying to find out more about the different perspectives people in this world have. We didn't touch on the atomic bomb much in school ( I only know two were dropped- in Hiroshima and sadly, in Nagasaki), This series has helped to fill the gap. This series takes place from right before the bomb dropped to several years afterwards. Gen struggles with life in Japan as an A-Bomb victim. In this volume, not only does he have to deal with the American occupation and the suppression of any talk about the bomb or its tragic and horrifying after effects, he also has to deal with the loss of a close family member. I have to admit that this is a hard series to read. It hits and keeps right on hitting you in the heart, but I like it because the title protagonist, Gen, doesn't ever give up. He also fights for the right things and people who have been stepped on by both the Americans and the Japanese that are eager to pacify their new occupiers. It has moments of severe mood whiplash that can get tiresome, but this is a series everyone should at least read once. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/12695310-barefoot-gen-vol-7-bones-into-dust](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/12695310-barefoot-gen-vol-7-bones-into-dust) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
