Shoko Tendo

I've a recommendation for ya'll.
A colleague of mine told me part of the story, and it made me so interested to read it. And now, i bought it. If you read, then this one's a must read. Based on True Story, written by the Japanese woman herself, a Yakuza's gang leader's daughter, Shoko Tendo. A story of a young woman's successful struggle to escape from a life of ostracism and abuse. It's a touching story. Somehow, made an impact on me. Selling at MPH Bookstores and Times Bookstores, you can get it at $35.  Tendo lived her life in luxury until the age of six, when her father was sent to prison and her family fell into terrible debt. Bullied by classmates who called her "the yakuza girl," and terrorized at home by a father who became a drunken, violent monster after his release from prison, Tendo rebelled. A regular visitor to nightclubs at the age of 12, she soon became a drug addict and a member of a girl gang. By the age of 15 she was sentenced to eight months in a detention centre. Adulthood brought big money and glamour when Tendo started working as a hostess during Japan's booming bubble economy of the 1980's. But amongst her many rich and loyal patrons there were also abusive clients: one beating left her face permanently scarred. Her mother died, plunging Tendo into a depression so deep that she twice tried to commit suicide. Written with warmth and candour, this is a riveting account of a life in the unique criminal world of the Yakuza, of discrimination and rebellion, drug addiction, despair and finally redemption. -Together, i fall...- |
