Review Author: Sleekpony

Travel broadens the mind, and this wonderfully honest account of two years teaching in Japan captures not only the author’s travels, but a journey to the centre of her soul. The author’s philosophical observations often reminded me of Paulo Coelho.

The truly stunning descriptions of countryside, Japanese festivals, and the hospitality of the people leapt off the page. Japan is a country I long to visit, and the author really brought it to life.

I had not realised the importance of cats in Japanese culture, and loved the way each chapter started with an appropriate proverb. I love all animals, but err towards the canine side of the dog/cat divide. However, I was captivated by Gershwin’s black-rimmed green eyes!

I received a review copy of this book free of charge, but am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
