The story takes place in the last half of the 19th century as Japan is opening up to the western world. A 9 year old American girl, just arrived in Japan with her uncle, suddenly finds herself an orphan and is taken in by a 15 year old Japanese girl's family. Gorgeous writing. So enjoyable I didn't want it to end.
