Erin’s Reviews > The Scent of Sake: A Powerful Saga of One Woman Who Defied Tradition to Forge Her Empire > Status Update

There are no stakes within this book. The female main character is unhappy with her arranged marriage and she loves someone else whom she can never be with. That's the extent of the "obstacles" that she faces. Despite being a woman, her family never criticizes her sticking her nose where it doesn't belong (the sake business they own) and she always has the best ideas when it comes to expanding their influence... ugh.
