Beautiful, masterfully written and translated from Japanese. This book is full of wisdom and questions about how to live life well and fully. Very interesting and thought provoking. I also really enjoyed the narrator’s voice.

Well developed characters I came to love

Revisado: 01-25-25

Another Gail Tsukiyama story I thoroughly enjoyed. Well developed likable characters with depth. I found it difficult to put down and tougher to finish reading because I grew attached to the characters and their rich culture .

Wonderful suspenseful story

Revisado: 11-17-24

Beautifully written, good character development- I grew very fond of most of the characters. Interesting cultural journey, enjoyed the different time periods blended into the story. Hard to put down, suspenseful toward the conclusion. Wonderful story and narration.
I was disappointed that I could not find another book on audible by this talented author- I am hoping for another soon!

Incredible sharing of wisdom

Revisado: 11-10-24

Beth Kempton provides an incredible sharing of wisdom in this book. After reading her Wabi Sabi, which I also loved, I was yearning for more. Fortunately, this book was published soon after. After some time in Japan, I was really wanting to read more about their beautiful culture and philosophies.

Once again, she provided me with just what I needed in order to consider and comprehend what is important to me in life and how I would like to move forward on my path with what I learned. I love the way she guides so that I can reach within to find and hear my own inner guidance.

In addition, Beth’s writing is beautiful, like talking with a favorite friend, and her lovely voice is so soothing.

Wonderful story with characters I grew to love

Revisado: 08-27-24

I loved everything about this book except the fact that it had to end. I could have listened to so much more about the lives of these characters I had grown so fond of.

Japanese culture, past and present, is something I have become interested in since my last trip there this Spring. I have read Memoirs of a Geisha, Shogun, Wabi Sabi , and this book since my return. I only hope I can find another that I can enjoy as much as this one.

Be patient

Revisado: 03-25-15

I found that this story started out slowly, But once it picks up it is difficult to put down- or hit the pause button. An excellent and complex story with many surprises. Just hang in there through the beginning.

Love it!

Revisado: 03-13-15

The characters of 44 Scotland street novels have become such dear friends. Alexander Smith has brought them to life for all of us to love and enjoy. I hope there is another in store for us.

Fascinating tale

Revisado: 03-07-15

Fascinating tale which reveals the amazing ability of humans to be flexible and adapt in order to survive and even find happiness in any situation.
Living with wild beasts became A simple existence different from the human existence and yet one in which happiness was available.
It was actually sad when the girls were found. They were not able to obtain the same sense of happiness in the world of humans.
This story was deep on so many levels. It stimulates a great deal of thought and contemplation about humans, animals, relationship, will to survive, love between humans and animals, the way humans view and treat animals who have as much right to live as we do, and many more philosophical and ethical questions.
The voice and language of the character was appropriate and brought the character to life.

Amazingly well written and produced

Revisado: 02-23-15

Kept me on edge of my seat. Almost scary realistic. Good balance of action, romance, suspense, and drama. My husband and I listened together and both enjoyed it immensely.
