This is a wonderfully sensitive book. The plot carefully develops and one can not necessarily anticipate every turn. It is a careful description of an immigrant's adjustment over a few years to cultural differences in America, a deep longing for the woman he loves who is distancing herself, heartache for his mother who is dying far away, puzzlement over his best customer's attitudes toward him, and a completely unexpected romantic and illogical episode with an American coed. Expect to be moved by the detail of emotions, feelings, and self-examination.
