Amazon Reviews

A VERY IMPRESSIVE PIECE OF WORK. ROBERT HALE LTD. PUBLISHERS, LONDON

This funny, interesting and informative book takes the reader into a different world.

The author, with no money, job or friends in Japan started her own business and succeeded in one of the world's most ancient cultures, where real life is hidden under a veil of good manners and everything takes on a different meaning. It is a memoir which revolves around the Japanese people themselves as their lives mingle with the author's.

It also takes the reader into the world of the all female Takarazuka Review Company, a cultural gem of Japan with 450 performers playing both male and females roles on stage. It's an intriguing world of entertainment in a fascinating, contradictory and unique country where nothing is as it seems and dreams really do come true.
