The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama
A 20-year-old Chinese painter named Stephen is sent to his family's summer home in a Japanese coastal village to recover from a bout with tuberculosis. Here he is cared for by Matsu, a reticent housekeeper and a master gardener. Over the course of a remarkable year, Stephen learns Matsu's secret and gains not only physical strength, but also profound spiritual insight. Matsu is a samurai of the soul, a man devoted to doing good and finding beauty in a cruel and arbitrary world, and Stephen is a noble student, learning to appreciate Matsu's generous and nurturing way of life and to love Matsu's soul-mate, gentle Sachi, a woman afflicted with leprosy.
Gail Tsukiyama lives in El Cerrito, California. Born to a Chinese mother and a Japanese father in San Francisco, she is also the author of "Women of the Silk", "Night Of Many Dreams", and "Language of Threads".
