5.0 out of 5 stars Like being in Japan, October 8, 2008

Mary M. Hamilton "Mary H." (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Body Wore Brocade (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a very good book on its own; Melville is an excellent author with an ability to create "word journeys" to Japan to visit with Inspector Otani and his wife in their world.
