swingbeat: 15/26: The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama
Recommended.
This book was pretty short and once you get into it, it flows by easily. It's about a young man recovering from an illness who moves from Hong Kong to his family's vacation home in Japan, during World War II. He meets the caretaker of the house as well as the comings and going in that little town, Tarumi. It's supposed to be about how his life is changed after meeting certain people and living life in this area. I couldn't actually see this though, he seemed the same throughout the whole book :). But regardless, this short tale is just a good story, and I enjoyed it.
