Frederic von Rosenberg (18741937) stand in der Zeit von 1918 bis 1934 in unterschiedlicher Funktion im Dienst des Auswärtigen Amts und war kurzzeitig Außenminister im Kabinett Cuno. Die Biografie des konservativen Diplomaten zeigt in beeindruckender Weise das Zusammenwirken von innerer und äußerer Politik. Deutlich wird dies u.a. in der Phase von Niederlage und Verfassungswandel 1918, in der Ruhrkrise von 1923 und in den Anfängen des NS-Regimes, das mit den hergebrachten Methoden des Diplomatischen Dienstes brach. Über von Rosenbergs Biografie und Lebenserinnerungen trägt dieser Band zum Verständnis einer bewegten und komplexen Periode deutscher Außenpolitik bei, die von der unruhigen Phase des Wilhelminischen Deutschland bis in die Anfangsjahre der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur reicht.

Nao came to Japan to reconnect with her Japanese heritage, while Hyejung and Tina came to find freedom and their own paths. Though each of them has her own motivations and challenges, they all deal with language barriers, being a fish out of water, self discovery, love, and family.
