When I saw this, I wanted to buy it, but have no one of the right age on my gift list to bequeath it upon. Maybe you do?

This book has been on my reading list for a long time. I dream of travel so I thought I’d enjoy a European travelogue memoir written by a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist during her year long sabbatical overseas.

This is a remarkable historical novel set at the cusp of the nineteenth century on the Dutch trading post of Dejima outside Nagasaki, Japan.
