angela davis-gardner's plum wine
here is the brief version: a young woman from raleigh (the author is a professor at nc state) ends up in japan as an english professor. a colleague and friend dies suddenly, leaving the north carolinian a chest of homemade plum wine, each bottle wrapped in papers revealed to be diary entries. enlisting the help of a local potter and friend of the deceased, who like her was a survivor of hiroshima, the american begins translating these entries. blah blah self-discovery, love affair, blah. i was really into it for like the first half, and then it got a little too sentimental or something, and the end was kind of really trite.
