Book 2 Final Blog

Did the book come to a satisfactory end for you? Why or why not?

"The first snow had melted and frozen, and the road was icy but passable. Icicles hung from the eaves of the houses, dripping in the sun, glistening and brilliant (p. 277).


Grass for his Pillow was one of my favorite reads so far. At the end of the book Hearn leaves you in the dark on a lot of things about the still mysterious tribe. When I finished this book, I was immediately wanting to read the third book, and find out what happens in the end to Kaede and Takeo. Kaede, the whole time over coming the sexism of the era. While takeo, throughout the first half of the book having to deal with whole tribe keeping him down, then his dramatic escape. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fast paced action books, with breaks for a deeper look in the culture of futal Japan.
