Description
Hisaye Yamamotos often reprinted tale of a naive American daughter and her Japanese mother captures the essence the cultural and generational conflicts so common among immigrants and their American-born children. On the surface, "Seventeen Syllables" is the story of Rosie and her preoccupation with adolescent life. Between the lines, however, lurks the tragedy of her mother, who is trapped in a marriage of desperation. Tomes deep absorption in writing haiku causes a rift with her husband, which escalates to a tragic event that changes Rosies life forever.
