| New From St. Martins - Love in Translation
|
|
|
|
|
For anyone who’s ever dreamt of finding
love and family in an
unexpected place...
The San Francisco Chronicle called my debut novel, Midori by Moonlight,
a “terrific first novel.” Now I’m back with my second book, Love in
Translation, which again explores the themes of Japan and Japanese
culture and being a stranger in a strange land, which have played a
major role in my life and writing.
After receiving a puzzling phone call and a box full of mysteries,
33-year-old fledgling singer Celeste Duncan is off to Japan to search
for a long lost relative who could hold the key to the identity of the
father she never knew. This overwhelming place where nothing is quite
as it seems changes Celeste in ways she never expected, leading her to
ask: What is the true meaning of family? And what does it mean to
discover your own voice? | Listen to the Love in Translation Audio Drama Podcast and Theme Songs

Praise for Love in Translation
A delightful novel about love, identity, and what it means to be adrift
in a strange land. This story of a search has an Alice in Wonderland
vibe; when Celeste climbs down the rabbit hole, one can't help but
follow along.
–Michelle Richmond, New York Times bestselling author of
The Year of Fog
An amusing story of one woman's quest for her father and the improbable
path of love.
—Meg Waite Clayton, author of The Wednesday Sisters"Twists and surprises abound as does humor and tenderness. Love in Translation was a joy to read."
—Beth Hoffman, bestselling author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
"Celeste is a terrific character and I loved watching her discover her roots in Japan."
—Malena Watrous, author of If You Follow Me
"Tokunaga strikes just the right balance between serious and silly in this coming-of-age story for adults. Her best work yet."
—Suzanne Kamata, author of Losing Kei and Call Me Okaasan
"Celeste is an easy character to cheer for."
—Melanie Ho, Asian Review of Books
