East Wind Melts the Ice

I love this book! I borrowed Liza Dalby’s East Wind Mets Ice from the University library via interlibrary loan because my local public libraries do not own this item (sigh!) After reading the first two chapters, I realized that it is the book I need to buy a copy and add to my personal library.

This book is written in luminous prose, divided into 72 chapters. The books brings the readers enlightening stories of author’s person life in Kyoto Japan, as the first non-Japanese Geisha; her life as a gardener in Northern California. I also consider this book as a memoir. The 72 chapters explores lives between the east and west cultures.

It is a wonderful book.
