CHERRY BLOSSOMS, SUSHI and TAKARAZUKA, SEVEN YEARS IN JAPAN
Jill Rutherford’s memoir covers seven years in Japan and is one woman’s story of how a middle-aged, rather gentrified British woman, with no influential friends in Japan, very little money, no job and no qualifications to get a job there, could realise her dream of living and working in Japan and survive and prosper in one of the world’s most ancient cultures, where real life is hidden under a veil of good manners and everything takes on a different meaning.
£1 of every book sold through this website will be donated to the earthquake appeal in Japan.
