1980
Reviewed by Marianne
from Let's Read
This is arguably one of the author's most personal books. She
talks not only about her stay in Japan to witness the shooting of "The
Big Wave", but above all about the death of her husband and how she is
trying to come to terms with it.
Ultimately, she finds solace in Japan, the people and country are very helpful.
But
the story of the film adaptation of her book is also very interesting
and probably offered the author some distraction in these difficult
times.
From the back cover:
"While
in Japan to observe the filming of one of her novels, Pearl Buck was
informed that her husband had died. This book is the deeply affecting
story of the period that immediately followed - the grief, fears,
doubts, and readjustments that a woman must make before crossing the
bridge that spans marriage and widowhood."
