Next week our book club will discuss Gail Tsukiyama's The Samurai's Garden. The other books I have read by Tsukiyama are about women from ancient Japan, so I was surprised when this book takes place during WWII and the main characters are men.The book concerns themes of loyalty, solitude & loneliness, love & loss, beauty & truth, among others. As my friend, Jennifer, says, Tsukiyama is a B+ writer. Good enough to read, enjoy, and learn some history, but not earth-shattering.
