Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. The House of the Lost on the Cape by Sachiko Kashiwaba, Translated by Avery Fischer Udagawa, Illustrated by Yukiko SaitoThis was a wonderful story about friendship, found family, kindness, love, grief, healing, and overcoming. A sometimes tragic, sometimes suspenseful, wholesome story. I recommend this book. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Following the 2011 Tokohu earthquake, three unlikely people come together during this troubled time to form a family of sorts: a mysterious and spry elderly woman, a wife fleeing an abusive relationship, and an orphaned girl. When odd happenings occur around their rural community, concern grows that the earthquake may have awakened restless spirits. The three once strangers work together to bring peace and calm back to the shaken village. This book was endearing and full of mystery which kept me guessing. While the topic was difficult, the author approached it by showing the range of human feelings and resilience associated with such a disaster. At the same time, there is nothing that would be traumatic to a young child. It was an easy and fast read, and would be loved by children in the 8-12 year old range. This is a perfect book for anyone interested in folk tales, mystery and historical fiction. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This book was really enjoyable to read. I loved reading about three generations coming together to heal and create their chosen family. The book deals with abuse, loss, natural disaster, but also bravery, kindness, and the acceptance of strangers and those who are different, in a way that is age appropriate for the reader. The stories within a story were interesting and I enjoyed learning about the mystical Japanese creatures in the story. Overall, the book was fantastic, and I would really like to read more books by this author. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I really loved this book. It's a great story of survival, the kindness of strangers and how extraordinary, near magical things can happen when you least expect them too. It's a wonderful children's book for adults too. I liked how the author weaved the lives of three women, of three generations, from different places, together. I also liked the pretty sketches. I easily suspended disbelief in respect of the other characters in the story who came to the rescue. It's been a while since I've been very entertained by such a wholesome book and I really looked forward to reading it before going to bed. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"In the wake of a devastating earthquake and tsunami, Yui, fleeing her violent husband, and Hiyori, a young orphan, are taken in by a strange but kind old lady named Kiwa in the small town of Kitsunezaki. The newly formed family finds refuge in a mayoiga,a lost house, perched atop a beautiful cape overlooking the sea. While helping to rebuild Kitsunezaki, the three adapt to their new lives and supernatural new home, slowly healing from their troubled pasts. Kiwa regales Yui and Hiyori with local legends--from the shapeshifting fox-woman who used to roam the mountains, to the demon Agamae and a sea snake who once terrorized the townspeople, preying upon their grief and fears until they trapped the snake and the demon's claws in an underwater cave. But when mysterious and sinister events start happening around town, the three fear the worst. Did the earthquake release Agamae and the sea snake into the world again? Kiwa, Yui, and Hiyori join forces with a merry band of kappa river spirits, a bold zashiki warashi house spirit, and flying Jizo guardian statues to save their new family and home and banish Agamae and the snake once and for all"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I found this to be a sweet story of overcoming tragedy and grief through friendship and kindness. The addition of the mythological stories was very enjoyable. I would recommend this middle grade novel to those wishing to learn more about Japanese culture. ( )
