Title: A quiet, simple story of love
Product review: This is a sweet story about a big topic: interracial romance and marriage. The story, though short, evolves slowly. Yoshiko breaks a taboo and speaks to a foreign man; her GI sweetheart, forbidden to meet her family, nevertheless learns about her world and quietly shows his honorable intentions with thoughtful tokens (fish for her father's pond, wine and rice for the family shrine and, most importantly, learning to speak and write in Japanese). Because of his patience and earnestness, Yoshiko's family is eventually won over.The best part of the story is on the last page- you'll have to see to figure out why.
