Review of 'The Roads to Sata' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I’m not sure this book deserves five stars but I’m going to give it five stars anyway because it’s about someone walking a great distance, and I have a soft spot for such books. Some will criticise the author for painting too harsh a picture of the Japanese, but I think his harshness reflects an ambivalence that can only come from loving a place and wanting to call it home, but being unable to do so.
