Description
Mr Smith leaves the Eihon family to continue his research in a distant town. There, he meets a young widow named Tarasu who offers to let the Englishman stay with her small family. But Smith is not met with the same hospitality he enjoyed at the Eihons' home, and the suspicions of Tarasu's uncle soon land Smith in prison. Far from his friends and even farther from home, Smith's outlook seems grim...
A Bride's Story: Vol 3 delves deeper into the challenges faced by Smith as he navigates cultural differences and unforeseen predicaments in his quest for knowledge.
