Kyoko Nakajima recommends
Four Seasons in Japan (2023)
Nick Bradley
"This novel is like the waves of the Seto Inland Sea. Waves that calmly roll in and out, permeating the reader's heart and mind profoundly, and before you know it there's a rich high tide."
Diary of a Void (2022)
Emi Yagi
"In this fictional diary of a pregnant woman, it is the real, rather than the made-up, aspects of society, such as single parenting and discrimination against women in the workplace, that are powerfully depicted."
