Aprašymas
"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 classic memoir tells the story of a remarkable Asian-American woman navigating two very different cultures--a loyal wife, a widowed mother, and a bilingual breadwinner--who finds her voice in a strange new world. Follow her journey as she:- Witnesses her father prepare and perform ritual seppuku, and her mother burn down the ancestral 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 as alien as America, forcing her to reinvent herself to provide for her family
- Eventually returns to America with her children after the death of her mother-in-law
An international bestseller when first published a century ago, A Daughter of the Samurai remains a testament to a woman's resolve, strength, and endurance. This edition includes a new foreword by 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist Janice P. Nimura.
