Book Reviews of The Wind Is Howling
Book Review: A truely emotional and powerful read.
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend loaned me this book to read over 11 years ago, and I was moved to tears on several occasions throughout the book. My memory is not the best, but I recall a gripping story of a young girl's fight to survive disease and dictatorship in China at the beginning of the century. The book, for me, was exremely emotional, powerful and heartbreaking - it has obviously had a tremendous effect, for me to remember the author's name (let alone the title). I have tried to get a copy of this book for many years, and I was actually starting to think I may have dreamt about this book, until I started a search on this web page, and guess what - my book does exist! All that's left is for me to track down a second hand copy (any help greatly appreciated).Book Review: Hokkaido, birthplace of Miyura Ayako
Summary: 5 Stars
The story is set in Japan. It's a very powerful and gripping book about a young woman's journey during the years following Japan's surrender.The book is part one of three from Miyura Ayako's autobiography. The other two parts are not available in English to my knowledge. I really recommend this book for anyone who wants an interesting perspective on Japanese culture. Of course, it's set about 50 years ago, though... but still very interesting and as I said, powerful.
I found this book in a tiny drugstore in Idaho. So, keep your eyes peeled and you might find it yourself somewhere.
