May 15, Jade rated it really liked it Shelves: Buck travels to Japan to observe the filming of the movie based on her children's book, The Big Wave , when she receives a phone call that her dying husband has passed away. This book tells with calm poignancy the people she meets in Asia, her experiences, and reflections she has during this time of grief and exploration. The strongest parts of the book, for me, were Buck's observations and insights into other people. I couldn't agree with her agnosticism, although I might have during an Pearl S.

I couldn't agree with her agnosticism, although I might have during an earlier time in my life. She's opinionated, but in a detached, wise sort of way, and I enjoyed her thoughts on love as well as the way she views her own self and the kind words she writes about her husband. The many threads of narrative, from the differences between the modern Japanese and traditional Japanese, the difficulties during the filming of The Big Wave , to Buck's own personal memories living in China and other family memories, visiting Japan, and her happy but not perfect marriage, play upon each other well.

The style of writing is calm and associative, and her dry sense of humor is amusing. I kept wanting to read on and completed the book with satisfaction. Dec 02, Nancy Brady rated it liked it Shelves: Mixing the story of the filming of the adaptation of her book The Big Wave and her journey of grief after her husband died, Buck tells a flowing story of the beauty of Japan and its people.

Introspection abounds in this small volume and the section about love at the beginning of Chapter 2 is particularly eloquent and poignant at least I felt that way. A very interesting memoir of the year Pearl S. Buck lost her husband. At that same time, she was spending time in Japan for the filming of her beautiful children's book, The Big Wave. Her experiences in Japan at such a sad and difficult time provided solace and perspective, and became a "bridge" into her new life alone without her beloved husband. Nov 24, Gail rated it really liked it. This memoir tells two stories.

The deeper story is of Pearl Buck's loss of her husband to dementia, and then while she was in Japan during the filming of a movie based on her book The Big Wave, her loss of her husband to death. I felt very simpatico with Pearl as she and I share a fascination with, and a wish for, life after death. She was way ahead of her time in her understanding the possibility of the soul existing separately from the body and how science had already advanced to the poin This memoir tells two stories.

She was way ahead of her time in her understanding the possibility of the soul existing separately from the body and how science had already advanced to the point of beginning to support that idea - much more commonly known now, since quantum physics has become more mainstream and the intelligent observer phenomenon more well-known.

Pearl's remembrances of the love she and her husband shared, as well as honest memories of his foibles and flaws, were interesting and touching.

The bulk of the writing, however, pertained to the making of the film and was interesting in and of itself. One memorable fact is that the Japanese don't have the equivalent of the words, "I love you. Recommended for Pearl Buck fans, as well as anyone struggling with the loss of a partner to dementia or death, interested in spirituality, or a fan of cinematography. Pearl was one complex, generous, and deep-thinking person with interests that span all of creation, particularly communication between conscious beings.

My one nitpick is that she is a bit overly-impressed with physical beauty and expressive intelligence in her response to individuals, although that exists, a bit uncomfortably for me, alongside an appreciation of all people. Jan 18, Mary Dayhoff rated it really liked it. Having just lost a loved one I was curious to read about the author's experience of the passing of her husband. While most of the narrative surrounds the making of her movie in Japan, which I enjoyed immensely, her memories of life with "him" on their Pennsylvania farm, their family, and other memories were much different than my experience of losing my husband nearly ten years ago and also my recent loss.

She didn't delve deeply into her emotions which she did have and yet her description was v Having just lost a loved one I was curious to read about the author's experience of the passing of her husband. She didn't delve deeply into her emotions which she did have and yet her description was very inward, private, almost serene or even placid. It could be in part that she was a woman of her time, early 's when "he" died.

Buck was not avant-garde nor thrilling as a writer. She wrote as she was: The last page ties all the previous pages together and tells how she survived her husband death. I await reading more of Pearl S. May 25, Cora rated it liked it. I think this was more of a therapeutic write for Pearl S Buck. While she was in Japan for filming of one of her novels turned movie, he passed. She returned home for the funeral and to put things in order. Then she had to proceed forward with her life, which meant returning to Japan for the filming of The Big Wave. I think that writing this book was her way of dealing with the reality of her life tran I think this was more of a therapeutic write for Pearl S Buck.

I think that writing this book was her way of dealing with the reality of her life transitioning and accepting that her husband was gone. Although I have not read The Big Wave , nor watched the movie which released in , reading this made me curious. So I might add it to my Pearl S. Buck 's list of books to read. Jan 23, Robert Beveridge rated it really liked it Shelves: Buck, A Bridge for Passing Pocket, The strength of Pearl Buck's writing, it becomes evident from page one, is in her ability to tell a story as if she were sitting next to you sipping lemonade on an unseasonably cool August day.

A Bridge for Passing intertwines the filming of her novel The Big Wave, the first major collaboration between Japanese and American filmmakers and now unforgivably obscure , with the death of her husband of twenty-five years.
