"Mockettt's book is a moving and lyrically written account of her physical and emotional journey to a side of Japan few of us are privileged enough ever to see" -- Literary Review
"[Mockett] has written an odd, revealing and at times very painful book, but one that is ultimately consoling." -- The Belfast Telegraph
"[Mockett] sweeps away some of the stereotypes [of the Japanese] as she learns how the country is dealing with its collective grief through stoicism, denial, spiritual belief, and even humour." -- New Internationalist
