Spotlight: The Sea of Japan

Today we are featuring The Sea of Japan by Keita Nagano. It sounds very interesting and we hope you will add it to your bookshelf this fall!

Follow Lindsey in her journey for love, survival, and friendship in a small fishing town in Japan.

When thirty-year-old Lindsey, an English teacher in Japan who’s been assigned to a tiny fishing town, is saved from drowning by a local young fisherman, she’s drawn into a battle with a neighboring town that has high stakes for everyone—especially her.

As their efforts to save their town backfire, Hime gets closer to falling apart—putting Lindsey’s friends, her budding relationship with Ichiro, and her career in jeopardy. To save Hime, Lindsey realizes she’ll have to become a true American fisherwoman and fight for her new home with everything she has.
