I was ready for a lot of things from this story...
...to fall in love with the time and place.
...to experience the culture with eyes wide open.
...to UTTERLY DESPISE our handsome yet shifty leading man, Gabe.
...to cheer on our lovely yet under confident leading lady, Fiona.
...to see the world from a new angle with just the right lighting.

What I wasn't prepared...
...to experience the vast differences between the traditions of old and new, which equally thrive like a neon heartbeat.
...to change my mind about Gabe, however begrudgingly, when he finally gets his **** together...even when it might simply be too late.
...to adore our Miss Fi so much for her fresh take on the every day, her willingness to stick to her guns, and her ability to stand on her own two feet, come what may.


All in all, it was quite the trip! From the moment my eyes alighted on the lovely cover to the final flick of the epage, I was fully immersed in the story and holding my breath that every thing in fact would turn out alright. Getting to know the family she stays with, and fully taken in by the culture thanks to the author's wonderful writing, was a special bonus to an already heart warming, and smile inducing story.

Mit einem Teeladen hat es nichts wirklich zu tun, höchstens ein paar genannte Grünteesorten und auf Seite 229 eine Kurzbeschreibung Teezeremonie, Rest Liebesgeschichte in japan ( )

Die Bloggerin und Fotografin Fiona hat ein Stipendium erhalten, damit sie sich in Tokio weiterbilden kann. Als I-Tüpfelchen gibt es nachher noch eine Ausstellung ihrer Bilder in einer angesehenen Londoner Galerie. Doch in Tokio trifft sie fast der Schlag, denn statt Professor Kobashi, der verhindert ist, soll sich Gabriel Burnett als Tutor um Fiona kümmern. Das erinnert Fiona an eine peinliche Situation in der Vergangenheit, doch Gabe scheint sich daran nicht zu erinnern. Er zeigt aber auch wenig Interesse daran, seine Tutor-Aufgaben wahrzunehmen. Doch Fiona ist bei einer Familie untergekommen, die Fiona sehr freundlich aufnimmt und ihr die japanische Kultur näherbringt.
Julia Caplin hat einen wundervollen leichten Schreibstil. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt in Japan, denn sie beschreibt die Handlungsorte sehr atmosphärisch. In Japan stößt modernes hektisches Leben immer wieder auf Tradition.
Die Charaktere sind einfach toll dargestellt. Fiona ist mit viel Enthusiasmus nach Tokio aufgebrochen, auch wenn ihre nervende Mutter das gar nicht gut fand. Aber sie hatte auch erwartet, dass ihr Tutor sie unterstützt. Doch Gabe hat keine Lust und zeigt das deutlich. Er ist ein begabter Fotograf, der sich aber auf seinem Weg etwas verirrt hat. Das lässt er dann an anderen aus. Obwohl Fiona auf den ersten Blick ziemlich unsicher wirkt, gibt sie Gabe kontra. Die viele Reibereien zwischen den Beiden waren unterhaltsam. Dass es dann immer mehr auf ein Happyend zusteuert, war ja vorhersehbar. Fionas Gastgeber haben mir gut gefallen, sie sorgen dafür, dass sich Fiona wohlfühlen kann und viel über Japan lernt. Das gibt Fiona die Möglichkeit sich weiterzuentwickeln, so dass sie am Ende der Reise selbstbewusst ist.
Ich bin eigentlich nicht so der Fan von Liebesgeschichten, aber ich reise sehr gerne und diese buchmäßige Reise nach Tokio war einfach toll. ( )
