Stunning Novel Adventures into Young Japanese Woman's Personal and Spiritual Growth
Geneva (PRWEB) January 5, 2008 -- Sachiko by Shizue Tomoda explores the life and times of a brave young Japanese woman who escapes the stifling culture in Japan for a life of promise in the United States. Through hardships and lost loves, she comes to discover a new spiritual peace within herself.
Partly autobiographical and totally original, Sachiko is author Tomoda's heartfelt story about a woman who comes to America and finds herself thrust amidst the turmoil of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, a time when American society is undergoing the re-examination of its own traditional values. Fleeing the restrictive culture of Japan isn't easy, but Sachiko is determined to succeed. When she falls in love with a German exchange student, she believes her life to be complete, until tragedy strikes and she discovers that he is engaged to another. Through this painful development, she learns to accept the uncertainty of life.
Written in luminous prose, Sachiko explores the inner and spiritual growth of a unique young woman as she struggles through various hardships in her quest for unconditional love. Not a typical love story, Sachiko focuses on how the difficulties Sachiko faces strengthen her both as a human being and as a woman. Loosely based on the author's own experiences, Sachiko is profoundly wise and gorgeously entertaining.
