Helpful Score: 3

An insightful book about the changes of cultural Japan from 1856-1929 through the eyes of an American girl who is taken in by a Japanese family who's life work is tea. The relationship between the two main characters is well written and fluctuates with time, which makes it more real. The scenes when tea is served never gives too much information or detail but enough to allow the reader to follow along. Gets a bit long in the end but overall a great read for anyone who likes to take a chance on a new book or author.
