Firstly I want to let you know that I’m enjoying reading Risuko, but there’s one thing bothers me. Risuko is from a poor family, especially in the era you used as the background, she wouldn’t be disgusted by preparing fish and meat. The anticipation of eating a much better meal than she used to will be enough for her and the rest to ignore the dirty works. But maybe you only have modern kids’ thoughts in mind?

Anty, thanks so much!
I absolutely agree with what you're saying — I'd answer that Risuko isn't so much disgusted by the animals (though she hasn't killed them before), but stinky is stinky — having myself dressed fish and animals, I can tell you that offal smells awful. :-)

Hi David - enjoyed Risuko and will be adding my review soon. Curious about the Korean cook and the odd way he speaks. Is that on purpose to indicate he might have some type of accent? Also, is there any particular reason for him not being Japanese? Perhaps I missed something :)
