 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.

—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.

A delightful plot with wonderful characterizations.

"Tokunaga suffuses the book with warmth and lightness .....Just as the right dessert hits the spot, reading this delicious slice of escapism makes for a perfect afternoon. But instead of suffering a sugar crash afterward, you'll muse for days about the characters you've left behind and why they matter so much to you.
—San Francisco Chronicle
“A delightful debut novel.” —Tokyo Metropolis
“A surprisingly pleasurable read.”—Daily Yomiuri
Author Lauren Baratz-Logsted (Vertigo) says, “A delightful fusion of East meeting West, as if Banana Yoshimoto and Meg Cabot got together to create a romantic comedy.”
