Loved this book! Having grown up in a town lucky enough to have Frank Lloyd Wright homes in it, there is definitely a connection. Fun to see Kankakee named in this novel. Also, although this is a fictional tale, it is based on fact and "told" by the woman he had a long time affair with. Little seems to have been known about her, but this book makes her very interesting. Sad ending, though!

The story revolves around two girls growing up in the 19th century in rural China. One comes from a poor family and one from a rich family, but they are brought together as Loatong (a special, contractual friendship that is lifelong). Their feet are bound and they are subjected to arranged marriages at the age of 17. The story is just sadness and one tragedy after another. There is nothing uplifting or happy in this book. I really enjoyed the writing style, but the book is so depressing that I'm giving it 3 instead of 4 stars.

The Land of the Rising Sun is shining brightly across the American cultural landscape. Recent films such as Lost in Translation and Memoirs of a Geisha seem to have made everyone an expert on Japan, even if they've never been there. But the only way for a Westerner to get to know the real Japan is to become a part of it. Kate T. Williamson did just that, spending a year experiencing, studying, and reflecting on her adopted home. She brings her keen observations to us in A Year in Japan, a dramatically different look at a delightfully different way of life. Avoiding the usual clichés—Japan's polite society, its unusual fashion trends, its crowded subways—Williamson focuses on some lesser-known aspects of the country and culture. In stunning watercolors and piquant texts, she explains the terms used to order various amounts of tofu, the electric rugs found in many Japanese homes, and how to distinguish a maiko from a geisha. She observes sumo wrestlers in traditional garb as they use ATMs, the wonders of "Santaful World" at a Kyoto department store, and the temple carpenters who spend each Sunday dancing to rockabilly. A Year in Japan is a colorful journey to the beauty, poetry, and quirkiness of modern Japan—a book not just to look at but to experience. Kate T. Williamson is a writer and illustrator who studied filmmaking at Harvard University. Her love of travel and interest in sock design, along with a postgraduate fellowship, took her to Kyoto. She lives in New York City.

I had a love/hate relationship with this book. My mom says it's because of the time of life in which I read it (I have young children, I was pregnant, etc). I loved the way it was written and how it pulled me in (I didn’t want to put it down), learning about the early days of living – or surviving – in the west (most of the book took place just outside of or in Tucson, AZ), I definitely enjoyed the love story and I loved that it made me think a lot. But I HATED some parts of the book. Again - most likely just because of when I read it. I would definitely recommend this book though.

Wow, what a page-turner. I got into this book immediately and couldn't put it down. The character development is fantastic and the story is riviting. Really loved this book!

never actually read the book have you? It's quite different from the movie. Very interesting to see the differences. Worth a read. Very quick.

** spoiler alert ** In this book, Rachel travels to San Francisco by car with Trent, Ivy, and Jenks. THe mishaps across country - The fall of the arch in St. Louis and Jenks getting kidnapped - add lots of humor and of course get Rachel in lots of trouble. Especially since she is on her way to a coven meeting to get her shunning rescinded. Once there, Trent and Jenks leave for Seattle for Trent's "elf quest" which turns into him stealing a baby! Even crazier, the baby turns out to be Trent's daughter. Who would have thought he had it in him!! The mayhem that follows is some of the worse crap Rachel has ever gotten herself into, but of course she survives (barely). I just hope she doesn't hide behind her silver bracelet for too long. It would make the next book very tame.
