"Immensely entertaining." --Newsday

"Poignant and remarkable." --Philadelphia Inquirer

"Warm, compassionate, engaging, and thought-provoking." --Washington Post

"With a subtle ominousness, Yamashita sets up her hopeful, prideful characters--and, in the process, the entire genre of pioneer lit--for a fall." --Village Voice

"A splendid multi-generational novel . . . rich in history and character." --San Francisco Chronicle

Particularly insightful." --Library Journal

"Informative and timely." --Kirkus

"Yamashita's heightened sense of passion and absurdity, and respect for inevitability and personality, infuse this engrossing multigenerational immigrant saga with energy, affection, and humor." --Booklist

"This enriching novel introduces Western readers to an unusual cultural experiment, and makes vivid a crucial chapter in Japanese assimilation into the West." --Publishers Weekly

The story of an idealistic band of Japanese immigrants, who arrive in Brazil in 1925 to carve a utopia out of the jungle. The dream of creating a new world, the cost of idealism, the symbiotic tie between a people and the land they settle, and the changes demanded by a new generation, all collide in this multigenerational saga.
