Synopsis
"POETIC . . . REMARKABLY HONEST . . . Mori describes her experiences with an admirable mixture of forthrightness and restraint." --The Wall Street Journal In an extraordinary memoir that is both a search for belonging and a search for understanding, Japanese-American author Kyoko Mori travels back to Kobe, Japan, the city of her birth, in an unspoken desire to come to terms with the memory of her mother's suicide and the family she left behind thirteen years before. Throughout her seven-week trip, Kyoko struggles with her ever-present past and the lasting guilt over her mother's death. Although she meets with beloved cousins and other relatives, she agonizes over the frustrating relationship she barely maintains with her fierce father and selfish stepmother. Searching for answers, Kyoko attempts to find a new understanding of what her father is really like, and how it has affected her own place in two distinct worlds. As her time to leave draws near, Kyoko begins to understand that her family connections may be a powerful cry of the heart, but it is the new world that has given her escape from a lonely past and the power to believe in herself. "[A] COMPELLING MEMOIR . . . LYRICAL." --Seattle Times-Post Intelligencer "ASTONISHINGLY BEAUTIFUL . . . Through the clarity filters the beauty of a large heritage that Mori is by now too American to share, but still Japanese enough to appreciate its redeeming value and to be in some measure restored by it." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "MAGICAL . . . ENLIGHTENING." --San Francisco Chronicle, An American poet explores her past and the meaning of memory and examines the two countries she knows well, Japan and America.

    Seller packaged item very carefully so the watch was well protected. The watch was exactly as shown and described! Very happy that the watch is also working (has a live battery) at the time of delivery. I would absolutely purchase from this seller again!!! (This next part was out of the seller's control and is solely a USPS issue) Shipping was a little strange because the tracking didn't update or say that it was even shipped until it was in my town on the other side of the country haha.

    The seller is a fantastic person to work with and very helpful. We had a mistake during shipping but they were right onto fixing it and making sure I got the package as soon as possible. The shipping was fast, the packaging was great, and Mikasa is just as cuddly as the photos made her out to be. Love it!
