Title The Lady and Sada San
A Sequel to the Lady of the Decoration
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Lady and Sada San" by Frances Little is a novel written in the early 20th century, serving as a sequel to "The Lady of the Decoration." The story is set primarily in Japan and revolves around the protagonist and narrator, who embarks on a journey to reunite with her husband, Jack, and provide companionship and support to a young Japanese-American girl named Sada San. As the narrative unfolds, the complexities of cultural identity, gender roles, and tenderness in human connections emerge. The opening of the novel introduces the narrator's reflections as she journeys across the Pacific Ocean to Japan in direct defiance of her husband Jack's wishes. She expresses her feelings of discontent and loneliness in his absence while simultaneously plotting to be close to him during his scientific expedition. Amidst her reflections, she meets Sada San, a half American, half Japanese girl who has high hopes of returning to her roots in Japan. Sada's backstory is revealed through the narrator’s observations, highlighting her innocence and the harsh realities she is set to face upon her return. The narrator’s heartfelt concern for Sada's future, especially regarding her uncle’s intentions for her, hints at the unfolding drama and the cultural clashes that will define the narrative ahead.
