The View From Breast Pocket Mountain by Karen Hill Anton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometime the road less traveled will bring us to the most unexpected places. In this touching memoir, we see the life of the author, from a young girl growing up in New York, to her worldly travels all throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia before settling in Japan. The honesty that she writes with was refreshing. She describes her encounters with new societies and locals, both positive and negative encounters which many books can leave out. I enjoyed the unique perspective she brings and this book renewed my desire to travel to Japan and experience the lifestyle myself.
