In her brief life she wrote poems, essays, short stories and a great, multivolume diary. This book is made up of a critical biography, interlaced with extracts from the diary, and Robert Danly's translations of nine representative stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856685170976,"sku":"NEW0393309134","price":23.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71SS5uTZkiL.jpg?v=1781550824","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/in-the-shade-of-spring-leaves-the-life-of-higuchi-ichiyo-with-nine-of-her-best-stories-0393309134","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
