Anthropologist Embree does not speculate on the future of Suye Mura or the Empire in general. But his book offers good evidence that it will take many a long year to Westernize the Japanese peasant...
Believe the Heart is the 497-page study -a good deal more interesting than the people it presents-of the slow maturing of Leda Fillmore, and of her relationships with 1) the memory of her dead husband, 2) her newborn son, 3) a difficult mother-in-law, 4) a wise obstetrician, 5) a somewhat crass young lawyer, 6) off-stage troubles in the steel company she has inherited.

The cast, as a whole, really carries...
