A Daughter of the Samurai
Detalii produs
"Her life was a bridge from the nineteenth century to the twentieth, from the time-hallowed beauty and rigidity of a samurai household to the disorienting, forward-looking freedoms of the West." --Janice P. Nimura, from the foreword.
This is the story of one woman''s remarkable life successfully navigating two very different cultures--the first memoir of an Asian-American woman.
Beautifully told, this immigrant''s account of an unforgettable journey is the story of a headstrong and empowered woman--a loyal wife, a widowed mother and a bilingual breadwinner--finding her way and finding her voice in a strange new world.
Follow in her footsteps and trace the remarkable trajectory of her life as she:
- Witnesses her father prepare and perform the ritual seppuku and her mother burn down the family home
- Bids an emotional farewell and sails across the ocean to marry a wealthy merchant in a new land
- Returns to Tokyo with her two daughters and mother-in-law, only to find her homeland just as alien as America, forcing her to reinvent herself again in order to provide for her family
- Returns to America with her children following the death of her mother-in-law
An international bestseller when it was first published a century ago,
A Daughter of the Samurai emerges as a rare testament to a singular woman''s resolve, strength and endurance. This edition features a new foreword by 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist Janice P. Nimura.
