Summary:
"The priest, the octopus hunter, the cargo ship captain, the mother of eleven, the doll maker, the dead soldier's daughter...these are just a handful of the characters who live on the remote Japanese island of Shiraishi in the Seto Inland sea, which American writer Amy Chavez also calls home. Inspired by the mysterious life of the war widow from whom she rented a house, Amy set off to gather her neighbors' stories, spanning the last hundred years of Japanese history, to produce this captivating book which will appeal to anyone with an interest in Japan."-- Publisher.
