I don't read much historical fiction but I did enjoy this book. It's not so much a traditional "story" as an almost stream-of-consciousness recounting of the experiences of various Japanese women immigrants. While I can understand why those looking for deep emotional attachments to characters might be disappointed I felt that I took away a lot from this book because it included so many viewpoints about the women in their various marital, social, and emotional situations. Also a fairly quick listen as an audiobook.
