In "The House of the Lost on the Cape" by Saciko Kashiwaba, an orphaned girl, a woman running from her abusive husband and an older mysterious grandmother meet and form a friendship in a rural community that has just been hit by a tsunami. These 3 women, along with several groups of mythological Japanese creatures work to bring a sense of peace and comfort back to this hurting community.
I found this to be a sweet story of overcoming tragedy and grief through friendship and kindness. The addition of the mythological stories was very enjoyable. I would recommend this middle grade novel to those wishing to learn more about Japanese culture.… (mais)

The House of the Lost on the Cape by Sachiko Kashiwaba, Translated by Avery Fischer Udagawa, Illustrated by Yukiko Saito

This was a wonderful story about friendship, found family, kindness, love, grief, healing, and overcoming. A sometimes tragic, sometimes suspenseful, wholesome story. I recommend this book.

Le livre qui a inspiré [Le Voyage de Chihiro]… Il ne m’en faut pas plus pour avoir envie de le lire, même si ce n’est pas mon animé préféré des studios Ghibli. Bon effectivement, il y a quelques similitudes, mais le dessin animé est une inspiration plutôt très très libre de ce roman pour enfants écrit par une autrice japonaise.
Le livre raconte les vacances d’une petite fille qui travaille dans les boutiques assez étranges d’un village perdu dans une vallée brumeuse de l’autre côté de la réalité. Elle y apprendra quelques jolies vérités sur la vie et l’amitié.
C’est mignon, même si parfois on sent un certain décalage culturel avec une importance donnée à certaines tâches ménagères qui diffère de notre hiérarchie occidentale. A noter, aussi, une vision très genrée de de ce qu’une petite fille doit être, qui fait que ce roman (pourtant publié en 1975 au Japon) a assez mal vieilli.
Un gentil délassement pour une lecture d’été (ce que ce livre a été pour moi, même si la note de lecture se fait sous un ciel automnal), mais un livre qui ne révolutionne pas le genre et qui finalement ne me laissera pas un grand souvenir.

Following the 2011 Tokohu earthquake, three unlikely people come together during this troubled time to form a family of sorts: a mysterious and spry elderly woman, a wife fleeing an abusive relationship, and an orphaned girl. When odd happenings occur around their rural community, concern grows that the earthquake may have awakened restless spirits. The three once strangers work together to bring peace and calm back to the shaken village.
This book was endearing and full of mystery which kept me guessing. While the topic was difficult, the author approached it by showing the range of human feelings and resilience associated with such a disaster. At the same time, there is nothing that would be traumatic to a young child. It was an easy and fast read, and would be loved by children in the 8-12 year old range. This is a perfect book for anyone interested in folk tales, mystery and historical fiction.
