"I found this book to be a wonderfully written and fascinating collection of short stories about the author's encounter with people that he met whilst he was living in Japan.
His stories have been written in a "matter of fact" way - and at first they seem impersonal but as you read further into the stories they become very personal and you get drawn into the lives of these people.
I came away from reading this book feeling as though I had a more personal and in-depth glance into the lives and minds of the Japanese more so than what any other book has given me."
