Woman Who Brings the Rain

As much about learning a language as it is about nature, this dignified and nuanced memoir of the author's stay on the remote Hokkaido island in the far north of Japan evokes what is cultured and cultivated, and yet also honours the wild; the untranslatable.

La fel de mult despre invatarea unei limbi, cat si despre natura, acest memoriu demn si nuantat al sederii autorului pe indepartata insula Hokkaido din nordul indepartat al Japoniei evoca ceea ce este cultivat si cultivat si, totusi, onoreaza salbaticia; intraductibilul.
