About this audiobook
It happened in Japan is a 1923 romantic drama following a group of Western diplomats stationed in Japan during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th Century. Focused on the main character Pearl, the book gives a great description of how life for a Westerner was in Japan during the period.
The book mixes silly and melodramatic love themes with serious undertones and events. It is a diamond in the rough, available for the first time as an audiobook

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good book which gives interesting insights into how early 20th century Europeans viewed the Japanese culture. The love story the plot revolves around is not super-interesting though.
