It was only a quarter mile or so to Seicho Garden Park. The quickest route from Ishigami’s apartment to his workplace was due south. Just before Nihonbashi, it crossed the Sumida River at the Shin-Ohashi Bridge. From that intersection the road ran east into the Edogawa district, west toward Nihonbashi. A short way to the south, about twenty yards, ran Shin-Ohashi Road. He walked with his head down, burying his chin in his scarf.

Will definitely read this again someday!!!! Audiobook review: From the start, that woman's voice annoyed me. Not that it wasn't still frustrating, but it was believable. So, for me, a lot of her confusion about Phillip and his intentions and the way she took absolutely everything everyone said at face value made sense. There she learned absolutely nothing about men or the outside world, preferring to seek out nature instead of being a elegant young lady in search of a husband. Her twin sister embraced London and life in the city, but Marianne longed to go back to the country as she stayed in Bath with her curmudgeonly grandmother. Her mother died a little over a year before and her father abruptly left in his grief, sending his twin daughters to stay with different relatives. At only 17, she had been completely sheltered her entire life. I was on the verge of being annoyed with Marianne at times, but I could never hold onto it. I loved Phillip and Marianne and all of their teasing.

Julie’s heart follows a well-trodden path that only readers who have never encountered the genre before will find at all astonishing. Surprise, surprise: Numerous pratfalls, fights, mix-ups and unexpectedly revelatory conversations, and one awesome kiss later, it turns out that if not her, then at least the plot’s, MTB is, gasp, Jason. ![]() Jason couldn’t possibly be any further from Mark, Julia’s Meant To Be back home, in looks, brains or character. ![]() Ultraorganized, rule-following scholar/swimmer Julia’s dreams of a perfect English-lit class trip to London are dashed when she is assigned to uber-immature slacker Jason as buddy for the entire time.

Blight’s Pulitzer Prize–winning biography, Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom, will recognize the similarities and hear the echoes of the past in the present.
