I absolutely love it when I learn something new about something I thought was familiar, especially when it's wrapped in a well-written and captivating story. Davidson's memoir of her experiences in Japan transports the reader to places both physical and spiritual, and she does this with surprising simplicity and heartfelt honesty.
I adored this book as it provided insight into the intricacies of the Japanese way of life and society. Davidson's descriptions of the layers of Japanese customs woven with personal anecdotes combined to make this a simple yet profound read - something I appreciate as a busy Middle School History teacher!
What a nice book about Japan! I've read a lot of books on Japanese culture, mostly written by experts, but this author is totally green and speaks no Japanese.
