Two children are close neighbors and love playing together. Then one day they are separated when one of the families moves to the other side of the world. But the boy leaves her a present and a promise. 20 years later a flavor awakens her memories. A mother's gift for knitting lays unappreciated until it is almost too late. As she grows older and raises a family, a woman holds on to her memories of a first love and a toothbrush. A hand-made present and a small lie lead to great upset. A soccer shirt is a poor substitute for the idol that should be wearing it. Yani Hu whips up recipes of young love in its many forms in these five not-so-little stories from China told with innocence and a certain oriental twist. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

The Meiji era (1868-1912) was one of Japanese history's defining periods, a time of massive change from the more traditional Tokugawa era to a positioning of Japan in the modern world. Contemporary writer, Soseki Natsume, suffered due to all the social and cultural changes, and expressed his feelings through his character Botchan. Sekigawa explores the period through an adult point-of-view, and Taniguchi's art portrays the material with exquisite and elegant detail. Presented in traditional Japanese format reading.

November 1944, Paris, France. G.I. John arrives in France as a mechanic in the Military Railway Service. He meets and falls in love with a young French woman, Odette, working in a corner café after her family business was destroyed. He is posted to Germany and returns a year later when his proposal of marriage is accepted and they decide to go to the US, much to her family's chagrin. But Odette isn't allowed to travel to the US together with her husband but is shipped instead to the Philip Morris Camp in Le Havre for induction and training in being 'American' before boarding the MS Vulcania for the trip to the States with some of the many other War Brides. Fast forward to the start of the book where Odette's great niece Maud and her husband Julien (our author) are preparing to embark on their own trip from Paris to Michigan to meet up with Odette and the many culture shocks that await them.
