Book description
Vera is only a child when her mother dies, and her father has long since been absent. Her rather colourful grandfather eventually returns from his travels, complete with his Japanese lover, Keiko, a pearl diver. Vera lives with them, and visits him daily at work. Life settles into a comfortable routine until the grandfather dies. After his death it seems that there is no longer any money to support Vera and Keiko. Vera writes to her absent father hoping he will take care of her, but she hears nothing. They have to find ways to earn a living, but Vera has no skills or experience, and Keiko has no relevant experience and a poor command of English. Their only option seems to be to live in Japan where Keiko can use her experience as a pearl diver. There are fascinating accounts of the trials and tribulations of pearl diving, and the camaraderie of the pearl divers and their families. Life is lived according to the seasons, with all the community moving to the island from which they dive for several months, then back again when the pearl gathering season is over. Vera is the odd one out, the only blonde westerner, but she does eventually connect with another loner.Over the years we watch Vera becoming an adult, and her changing relationships with Keiko and others.Eventually Veras father turns up, which changes everything.With the anticipated start of World War II it becomes clear that Vera could be in danger.What happens to Vera? What happens to Keiko? I would definitely recommend reading this wonderful book to find out.
