Just saw this in Publishers Marketplace…sounds like a great read.
Malena Watrous’s REPEAT AFTER ME, in an effort to outpace her grief, a young American woman moves to rural Japan shortly after her father’s suicide and finds work as an English teacher as well as unexpected solace with her Japanese supervisor and seemingly different neighbors, to Jeanette Perez at Harper Perennial, by Lisa Bankoff at ICM (World).
That DOES sound like a great read!
