| I like the premise of this book: to review the US history from its territories’ perspective. As we can easily expect, it’s very much about racism: white squatters settled in the indigenous peoples’ lands, the government legalized it and, after suffic ...more | |

| The opening is brilliant. A teenage girl asks her father why her mother disappeared, and his first answer is “What’s most important is for you to understand it’s not your fault” and, when pressed, his second answer is “The truth is complicated. There ...more | |

| I love the opening of this novel, and the author has clearly done their homework of studying the material—old maps. (I like maps) I’m intrigued with the genre of mystery with fantasy elements, and I like it that the first pages are written in strictl ...more | |

“Unending Love
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times...
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time.
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers,
Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting,
the distressful tears of farewell,
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.”
― Selected Poems

Thanks for the friend request Akemi! I'm looking forward to watching your feed and finding more Japanese novels I should have on my TBR!

Thank you very much for your friend request, Akemi. I am ecstatic to see your love and understanding of Japanese lit. I am still a neophyte in it but I have great enthusiasm and I bet we will have wonderful discussions about books, life and other interesting matters. I notice you mentioned Shakespeare as one of your fav writers. Another match. I have "The Tale of the Genji" spotted out and your response encourages me to tackle it sooner than later.
