NOTES
An immensely entertaining historical novel about Japanese immigrants and their struggle to make a home in a Brazilian rainforest. In 1925, a band of Japanese immigrants arrive in Brazil to carve a utopia out of the jungle. Yamashita conjures an intricate and fascinating epoch where the dream of creating a new world, the cost of idealism, the symbiotic tie between a people and the land they settle, and the changes demanded by a new generation all collide in a splendid multi-generational novel . . . rich in history and character
