How to Be an American Housewife (Reprint) (Paperback) by Margaret Dilloway

This book is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between mothers and daughters, tradition, and identity.

Through the eyes of Shoko, a Japanese woman who marries an American GI and brings with her a secret that will shape her entire life, we witness the power of family ties and cultural expectations to both unite and divide.

As Sue, Shoko's grown American daughter, travels to Japan for the first time, she discovers a world that is both familiar and strange, and must confront the secrets and lies that have defined her mother's life.

With beautiful prose and deep insight, Margaret Dilloway sheds light on the immigrant experience and the struggles of women to find their place in a new world.

This book will resonate with anyone who has ever felt caught between two cultures, or struggled to reconcile the past with the present.
