A Daughter of the Samurai
Madame Sugimoto was born in Japan, not in the sunny southern part of the country which has given it the name of "The Land of Flowers," but in the northern province of Echigo which is so bleak and cold and so cut off from the rest of the country by mountains that in times past it has been considered fit only for political prisoners or exiles. Her father was a Samurai, with high ideals of what was expected of a Samurai's family. His hopes were concentrated in his son until the son refused to marry the girl for whom he was destined and ran off to America. After that all that was meant for him fell to the lot of the little wavyhaired Etsu who writes here so delightfully of the things that happened in her childhood days in faraway Japan.

Ich habe das Buch vor vielen Jahren gelesen (auf deutsch) und es hat mich nachhaltig beeindruckt.
