Product Information
"Sukegawa--enabled by Watts's lucid translation--tells an endearing, thoughtful tale about relationships and the everyday meaning of life. Readers in search of gently illuminating fare--e.g., Shion Miura's The Great Passage , Jeff Talarigo's The Pearl Diver --will appreciate this toothsome treat." -- Library Journal "Although Tokue's past is a reflection of a dark chapter of Japanese history, her wisdom, patience, and kindness shape this touching and occasionally wistful novel. Through Tokue's story, Sukegawa eloquently explores the seeds of biases and challenges us to truly listen to the natural world and the messages it artfully hides." -- Booklist Sentaro has failed: he has a criminal record, drinks too much, and hasn't managed to fulfill his dream of becoming a writer. Instead, he works in a confectionery shop selling dorayaki, a type of pancake filled with a sweet paste made of red beans. With only the blossoming of the cherry trees to mark the passing of time, he spends his days listlessly filling the pastries. Until one day an elderly, handicapped woman enters the shop. Tokue makes the best bean paste imaginable, and begins to teach Sentaro her art. But as their friendship flourishes, societal prejudices become impossible to escape, in this quietly devastating novel about the burden of the past and the redemptive power of friendship.

'Although Tokue's past is a reflection of a dark chapter of Japanese history, her wisdom, patience, and kindness shape this touching and occasionally wistful novel. Through Tokue's story, Sukegawa eloquently explores the seeds of biases and challenges us to truly listen to the natural world and the messages it artfully hides.', 'Charmingly written, the plot is a continual surprise. A tale of sorrow that feels uplifting by its end.', 'Enthralling...This is that rare book that leaves readers truly humbled, reminding us of everything we should be thankful for, and that it is never too late to do something with our lives.', 'Sukegawa - enabled by Watts's lucid translation - tells an endearing, thoughtful tale about relationships and the everyday meaning of life... Readers in search of gently illuminating fare - e.g., Shion Miura's The Great Passage , Jeff Talarigo's The Pearl Diver - will appreciate this toothsome treat.', 'Sweet Bean Paste is a book for your heart, mind...and appetite... It feels important, significant and far-reaching. It really is a moving and inspiring story which is as heart-warming as a delicious dorayaki, well maybe with a bit of salt. It is not often that a book touches your very soul and, therefore, Sweet Bean Paste deserves the highest of marks.', Sentaro Tsujii's life runs pretty much on autopilot. An ex-convict who served time for drug-related crime, he once wanted to be a writer. Instead, Sentaro spends his days making dorayaki, sweet pancakes filled with bean paste, in a small Japanese shop and drowning his evenings in drink. In debt to the shop's owner, who granted him a new life, Sentaro finds little joy in his everyday life. Only when an old woman, Tokue Yoshii, visits the shop and gives Sentaro a taste of her very special sweet bean paste, does life take a more purposeful turn. Tokue is aged, with weak, gnarled hands, and despite his better judgment, Sentaro employs her to make the filling that will turn his shop's fortunes around. Although Tokue's past is a reflection of a dark chapter of Japanese history, her wisdom, patience, and kindness shape this touching and occasionally wistful novel. Through Tokue's story, Sukegawa eloquently explores the seeds of biases and challenges us to truly listen to the natural world and the messages it artfully hides., 'Sukegawa - enabled by Watts's lucid translation - tells an endearing, thoughtful tale about relationships and the everyday meaning of life... Readers in search of gently illuminating fare - e.g., Shion Miura's The Great Passage, Jeff Talarigo's The Pearl Diver - will appreciate this toothsome treat.', 'As wise as it is moving, Sukegawa's novel beguiles and seduces the reader from evocative opening to compassionate close.', ' Sweet Bean Paste is a short book that can be read quickly, yet it unfolds at a relaxed pace. The changing seasons provide reference points for the changes in the characters, but never in a way that seems forced.', 'Sweet Bean Paste is a short book that can be read quickly, yet it unfolds at a relaxed pace. The changing seasons provide reference points for the changes in the characters, but never in a way that seems forced.', 'Sweet Bean Paste is a subtle, moving exploration of redemption in an unforgiving society... Sukegawa's writing style, delicately translated by Alison Watts, is well-matched to the subject matter: a slow, muted movement that gently guides the reader, while leaving the unnecessary unsaid... It is an original twist on the "odd couple" genre, in which two unlikely companions find they have much to offer each other, and retains much of the humour that genre entails. A book with deceptive heft and lingering resonance.', ""Making and selling dorayaki--a pancake-like pastry filled with the eponymous "sweet bean paste"--was not supposed to define Sentaro's life. His someday-dreams of becoming a writer got waylaid by bad decisions that resulted in a two-year prison sentence. Since getting out, he's been repaying his debts as the dorayaki shop's only employee--until 76-year-old Tokue answers the "Help Wanted" notice. Sentaro's initial protestations disappear after he tastes Tokue's homemade sweet bean paste, and she quickly becomes the shop's best asset. But Tokue has a secret past--which eventually causes her to quit, but not before customers are scared away by their own unfounded fears of her handicapped appearance. Tokue's got to keep teaching Sentaro important lessons about listening and learning before it's too late. Inspired by the 1996 repeal of Japanese legislation that for more than a century inhumanely confined patients with Hansen's Disease (leprosy)--and their families, Sukegawa--enabled by Watts's lucid translation--tells an endearing, thoughtful tale about relationships and the everyday meaning of life. VERDICT Readers in search of gently illuminating fare--e.g., Shion Miura's The Great Passage, Jeff Talarigo's The Pearl Diver--will appreciate this toothsome treat.", ' Sweet Bean Paste is a book for your heart, mind...and appetite... It feels important, significant and far-reaching. It really is a moving and inspiring story which is as heart-warming as a delicious dorayaki, well maybe with a bit of salt. It is not often that a book touches your very soul and, therefore, Sweet Bean Paste deserves the highest of marks.'

Always sometimes a bit risky buying used books these days because the condition ratings feel very nebulous. However, the books I received were in very good condition for a used book and the buying experience was good.
