5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written, bittersweet story, 6 May 1998
By A Customer
_Shizuko's Daughter_ is a wonderful book not only because it is beautifully written, but because it is told with an intensity and passion that will draw any reader in, make them weep, and leave them wanting the story to go on and on. This is a story of a unique, talented, and independent girl in 1970's Japan whose beloved mother kills herself when Yuki is 12. Yuki is left with her distant father and hateful new stepmother, cut off from her mother's family, to grow up virtually alone. Most inspiring is the way that Yuki, despite her pain and grief, finds strength in her memories of her mother to go on and find happiness again. At the end, you know Yuki will survive.
