5.0 out of 5 stars A funny,exciting, absorbing, informative read - buy it!, 18 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This is primarily the story of Jane Takagi-Little; half-American, half-Japanese; documentary-maker and modern woman. Jane becomes the director of a Japanese TV series called 'My American Wife', made for the Japanese market and sponsored by meat company BEEF-EX. It features meat dishes made by many and varied women, all of whom leave their mark on Jane in different ways. Despite objections from the executive in charge in Tokyo, Joichi Ueno (nickname John - geddit?!), Jane widens the scope of the programme, and starts to uncover a sinister trail of information about meat production in the USA. Joichi, for his part, a bully and wife-beater, tries to stop Jane revealing more of her discoveries, and his wife Akiko, desperate to have a baby, bears the brunt of his frustration. Add to this mix a sexy musician lover, a crazy camera crew and some lovely minor characters, and the end result is a tasty meal, one to get your teeth into - laugh, cry and flinch at some of the reality that is revealed. The way Jane and the others search for personal freedom and honesty in their lives and the meat industry is fascinating. A fabulous book - I recommend it to everyone.
