4 posts | 5 read | 14 to read
In 1903, a young Scotswoman named Mary Mackenzie sets sail for China to marry her betrothed, a military attach in Peking. But soon after her arrival, Mary falls into an adulterous affair with a young Japanese nobleman, scandalizing the British community. Casting her out of the European community, her compatriots tear her away from her small daughter. A woman abandoned and alone, Mary learns to survive over forty tumultuous years in Asia, including two world wars and the cataclysmic Tokyo earthquake of 1923.

Read this many years ago but it has stuck with me as a remarkable story - the struggle of a headstrong woman trying to live an unconventional life beautifully told via diary entries, the historically packed timeframe covered (1903 thru 2 world wars), the distinct Japanese setting and culture.
Today's #somethingforsept #bookssetinasia #septemberphotochallenge reminded me how good this book was - I think this may now go on my TBRR (reread) pile!
