Good Read about Little Known Events

Interesting story of three young Japanese girls sent to the US in the late 19th century for their education and their subsequent return to life in Japan. Culture shock in first coming to America and then returning to Japan, no longer able to speak the language, after 10 years was huge. I knew very little about Japan in the early years after its forced opening to the West and this book was helpful in understanding that period as well as the samurai and court life.
