What an astounding book! The story is a collection of experiences of Japanese women who came to America with the promise of a husband and a new life, only to find sexism, backbreaking work and disappointment. And yet there is so much humanity in these experiences.
Most interesting is how these stories are told, not in sequential vinettes but in poetic amalgamations that read like song. It makes you want to re-read immediately after finishing.
A must read!
