Throughout the novel, we witness the choices she makes, and the high price she pays, while climbing up the corporate ladder, in her Tokyo-based Japanese firm. A disruptive incident during a business trip, provides her insight into painful parts of her past, questioning the life-choices she made. Lost in between versions of the woman she thirsts to be, a singing widow of a Buddhist priest, a white Persian cat, an ex-sumo champion, and a handsome mystery man, help her mold together her scattered-self, giving her a second chance for happiness.The Singing Widow of a Buddhist Priest is narrated in Sarah Green's witty, determined and, at times, insecure voice. The novel is elegant and colorful in both its descriptions of Japan and its culture, allowing the reader to soak up the unique atmosphere, of daily life in Japan. |
