I am reading the saga of this young Scottish who has just arrived in Japan after living a boat trip from England to China, and who will live an unusual and exciting history in a far east shaken by war. What will she live on Japanese territory? I take pleasure every night that this novel holds many surprises, and that is written in a clear style. A good way to travel in this part of the world in the early 20th century. A nice relaxing that I recommend!
