Secrets of Mariko: A Year in the Life of a Japanese Woman and her Family
by Elisabeth Bumiller

As it follows a Japanese housewife named Mariko Tanaka over the course of a year, "The Secrets of Mariko" transcends reportage to yield the kind of human insights we expect from literature. Meet Mariko, a cheerful, overscheduled woman who cares for three children, two aging parents, and an unresponsive husband. As readers watch Mariko take part in PTA meetings, bicker with her teenagers, and pursue independence through her part-time job, they come to see Mariko as someone whose dreams and disappointments mirror our own.
