Polite Lies : On Being a Woman Caught Between Cultures
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


A truly insightful booking into Japanese-American cultures. The author gives light to the tight rope walk of those with mixed background, trying to fill the shoes of what is expected of them. What is Japanese? What is American?

Anyone interested Japan, cultural expectations, or frank honesty, will enjoy this book as much as I did.
