Publisher's Note
Isaku is a nine-year-old boy living in a remote, desperately poor fishing village on the Japan Sea coast. To save the family from starvation, his father has sold himself into indentured servitude, leaving Isaku and his strong-willed mother to care for three younger children. Forced to grow up well before his time, Isaku must confront a number of enigmas, not least among them is his own nascent sexuality and the secret behind the legend of O-fune-sama--the ships that founder on the shore, bringing manna to the village like a gift from heaven.

Industry Reviews
"A seamless interweaving of description, characterization, and narrative, and an enduringly powerful image of a vanished time and place. More, please, of Yoshimura."
