Author, manuscript consultant and blogger Liz Sheffield<\/a> (Hokkaio-ken, Sapporo-shi, 1993-95)<\/strong> has a great post on her blog Motherlogue<\/strong><\/a> about a new book out titled Midori by Moonlight<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Wendy Nelson Tokunaga<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Here’s Liz’s explanation of the background:<\/em><\/p>\n About a year ago I read Wendy Nelson Tokunaga’s<\/strong><\/a> debut novel, Midori by Moonlight<\/strong><\/a>. <\/em>I was thrilled to see that she had a new release out in November — Love In Translation<\/em><\/strong>. Both of her books cover topics near and dear to my heart: Japanese culture, the expatriate experience and cross-cultural romance.<\/p>\n Love In Translation <\/em>intrigued me because the story is told from the perspective of a foreign woman living in Japan, something with which I have personal experience! As I read the book, I had a wonderful sense of being reconnected to my own experiences in Japan \u2014 from the visits to a ryokan<\/em> (Japanese hotel) to eating delicious shu-cream to blunders in communication through a foreign language. I was also reminded of what I learned about myself thanks to the joy and hardship of navigating a culture so different from my own.<\/p>\n In my interview with her at Motherlogue<\/a>, Wendy offers insight about her experiences in Japan, about publishing two novels and combining her vocal talents with her husband’s musical talents to create an enka<\/em> song (“Nozomi No Hoshi<\/strong>“) as the soundtrack for Love In Translation<\/em>. Details about how to request a copy of “Nozomi No Hoshi” on CD, are included in the interview.<\/p>\n Author, manuscript consultant and blogger Liz Sheffield (Hokkaio-ken, Sapporo-shi, 1993-95) has a great post on her blog Motherlogue about a new book out titled Midori by Moonlight by Wendy Nelson Tokunaga.\u00a0 Here’s Liz’s explanation of the background: About a year ago I read Wendy Nelson Tokunaga’s debut novel, Midori by Moonlight.
