“Heart-lifting and inspiring, A Girls' Guide to the Islands explores the restorative and often-unexpected way that travel breeds connection.” —Nicole Trilivas, author of Girls Who Travel
The American writer Suzanne Kamata had lived in Japan for more than half of her life. And yet, she had never explored the nearby islands of the Inland Sea. First made famous by Donald Richie’s The Inland Sea 50 years ago, these small isles are noted for displaying artwork created by prominent, and sometimes curious, international artists and sculptors Yayoi Kusama’s polka dot pumpkins, Kazuo Katase’s blue teacup, and a monster rising out of a well on the hour in Sakate, called “Anger at the Bottom of the Sea”—to name a few. Spurred by her teen-aged daughter Lilia's interest in art and adventure, Kamata sets out to show her the islands’ treasures. Mother and daughter must confront significant barriers. Lilia is deaf and uses a wheelchair. It is not always easy to get onto—or off of—the islands. And then there are the challenges of language, culture, and a generation gap.

A Girls' Guide to the Islands Gemma Open Door eBook Suzanne Kamata Reviews
Loved this little book! The island refer to the islands of Japan (specifically, the Shikoku area.) It's about American writer Suzanne Kamata and her daughter (who uses a wheelchair and is hearing impaired) taking trips to art museums. I don't know much about this part of Japan, so found it really interesting to learn about it. And also from Suzanne and her daughter's point of view for example, they stay in their car during ferry rides because (while other people enjoy the scenery from the upper deck) because there is no wheelchair access to the upper deck.
Lilia reminds me so much of my son! I guess kids are alike everywhere.....
