The American Letters of a Japanese Parlor-Maid

Om The American Letters of a Japanese Parlor-Maid

With a beautifully redesigned cover, The American Letters of a Japanese Parlor Maid is a classic novel that captures a young immigrant's transition to life in the United States - its traditions, quirks, frustrations, and glorious delusions. Accompanied by her uncle, a wealthy industrialist, Morning Glory arrives in San Francisco via steamship. She eventually makes her way to New York City, where she becomes interested in the lives of the working class and decides to test the waters of the American Dream for herself. Despite her fortunate background, she settles for a role as a parlor maid. With her abundant wit and humorous outlook, Morning Glory records in her letters a foreigner's view of American life. Through her eyes we see the country in a strange new light, perhaps more truth than fiction.
