## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The book description is misleading...
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2006*

This is a socialogical study not a biographical look at the lives of Japanese women in domestic service. The subjects' quotes were scattered so there was little continuity, and I was not able to get a consistent picture of any of their lives.  If you want a more "slice of life" look at what day to day existence was like for women who came from a completely different culture and had to adapt to the most intimate needs of their American employers, this is going to disappoint.  I was expecting something more along the lines of Oscar Lewis' "La Vida."  The mistake was mine, but it was based on a book description that lead me to believe it was an actual insight into the lives, emotions and experiences of a variety of women. What we get instead is a compendium of statistics dealing with wages, employment, cost of living, immigration and national origin of immigrants.  This is, no doubt, of considerable value to anyone making a study of Japanese women in domestic service.  However, it is described as an intimate look, a slice of life.  It's not. I would not give 3 stars to the book simply because it was not what I expected. The discription creates a completely false picture, and for that reason, 3 stars.

The book was in great condition and truly was a great purchase. It was shipped and received in a great amount of time. I was very satisfied and will be using amazon again.
