Why is Obasan so mean?

I picked this up to read because it is a story about a Japanese American girl. Karen Nomura is sent to Japan to stay awhile with her aloof grandmother (Obasan). I couldn't put this book down because I wanted to know why Obasan was so mean to Karen. You'll have to read the book to find out why and in the meanwhile, learn a little about some Japanese culture.

Hey, I think It's a great book!

This book is a great book about a girl named Karen Nomura who goes to Japan with her bossy grandmother, of course she doesn't want to but she has to. This is a story about the relationship between Karen and her grandmother. I think this book is fantastica!
