Terror and self-abasement conveyed respect. Amélie, our well-intentioned and eager young Western heroine, goes to Japan to spend a year working at the Yumimoto Corporation. Returning to the land where she was born is the fulfillment of a dream for Amélie; working there turns into comic nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534305165600,"sku":"NEW0312288573","price":11.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71qWJ-cxVuL.jpg?v=1777358613","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/fear-and-trembling-a-novel-0312288573","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
