A restless 36-year-old American travels to Japan to begin a new life as an apprentice in the traditional art of bonsai. This is the setting of Post-Dated, a chronicle of one man's erratic education far from home . . . linguistic blunders, broken branches, mischievous coworkers, eccentric clients, a strict (but hilarious) master . . . adventures that he realizes are just the beginning of a nonstop emotional roller coaster. But then again. . . there are lessons to be learned even in the most irregular of circumstances.

Amazingly quick read. Clear, humorous, educational.

[Matthew De Moraes]

First half was hilarious, second half I found a bit less enjoyable as it was more philosophical and intangible. But overall a great book
