Plum Wine, Angela Davis-Gardner
I listened to this book about a young American teacher in Japan in the mid-60s while in my car. I decided to listen to a book I knew nothing about and I am so glad I did. This book transported me to a world I knew nothing about -- Japan and the post-Hiroshima/ Viet Nam War time. Far from being depressing, it is exquisite in its storytelling, framing of cultural differences, and memorable characters. Yes, there is romance!
