About this book
At two minutes to noon on the first of September, 1923, Chiyo Arai was pinning a white hood on to a bride. Chiyo is nineteen, a chambermaid at the Hotel Yuzuriha, a small, elegant Western style hotel in the heart of Tokyo. The bride is Fumiko Tanabe, twenty four, who is about to become the second wife of a widowed silk merchant, a match arranged by two families, a matchmaker and a priest. Everyone in the building has an opinion about the wedding luncheon. Nobody has thought to ask the bride what she thinks.
