Paperback. Condition: Good. From an award-winning author whose debut story collection received unprecedented praise, comes an elegant novel about mothers and daughters, secrets and silences, and familial bonds in a culture where custom dictates behavior. In her exquisite first novel, Mary Yukari Waters explores the complex relationships among three generations of women bound by a painful family history. Fourteen-year-old Sarah Rexford, half-Japanese and half-American, feels like an outsider when she visits her family in Japan. She quickly learns that in traditional Kyoto, personal boundaries are firmly drawn and actions are not always what they appear. In the midst of her acculturation, Sarah learns of a family secret. During World War II, her grandmother was forced to give up one of her daughters for adoption. The child was adopted by the grandmother's sister-in-law, and the siblings were brought up as cousins, growing up on the same lane where both the biological and adoptive mother lived. Even into the present, the arrangement is never discussed. But as Sarah learns, its presence looms over the two houses. In this carefully articulated world, where every gesture and look has meaning, Sarah must learn the rules by which her mother, aunts, and grandmother live. Delicately balancing drama and restraint as only few writers can, Waters captures these women--their deep passions and tumultuous histories--in this tender and moving novel about the power, beauty, and importance of mother-daughter relationships.…

Condition: Good. In the wake of World War Two, a generation of Japanese women found itself frozen, as if in amber - the last representatives of an exquisite, ancient culture slowly being crushed between the realisation of its own brutality and the coming American Century. Mary Yukari Waters' astonishingly assured and elegant portraits show these women, with their husbands and fathers gone and their children at risk from appalling hunger and illness, still drawing sustenance from the dying tradition in which they were raised. Upheaval is balanced with renewal, estrangement with reconciliation: a mother tries to leaven her son's appetite for baseball and American food with the memory of his father; a woman asks few questions of an old, lost friend so that he might save face. With her completely authentic and alive stories, Yukari Waters gives her readers a passport into an otherwise alien culture, taking us beyond the usual images of Japan and into the human heart behind the ritual. …
