On Saturday afternoon, I finished reading “The Samurai’s Garden” by Gail Tsukiyama. This book was a Christmas gift from David and Catherine.
For a brief synopsis, I have stolen part of Nancy Pearl’s review for Library Journal found at Amazon.Com:
Seventeen-year-old Stephen leaves his home in Hong Kong just as the Japanese are poised to invade China. He is sent to Tarumi, a small village in Japan, to recuperate from tuberculosis. His developing friendship with three adults and a young woman his own age brings him to the beginnings of wisdom about love, honor, and loss.
