[ 4.0 stars ] "Naomi, translated from the Japanese was an entertaining read. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this one, but by the time I was finished I had a big smile on my face.The story takes place in 1920's Tokyo, where Naomi, a 15 year-old from a poor background works as a waitress at the Diamond Cafe.
