Mori Kyoko
Stone Field True Arrow
New York New York U.S.A.: Metropolitan Books 2000. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Very-good clean copy. NO price clippings. Small remainder mark on top outside page edges. Price inside dustcover: $24.00. Tight spine bright pages. NO writing or tears inside book. 279 pages. Synopsis: In her debut novel for adults Kyoko Mori has drawn on ancient myths reworked with her hallmark lush and lyrical prose to probe the eternal question: Given the fragility of life is love too great a risk Publishers Weekly: Simple language and strong emotion are effectively used to relate the story of Maya Ishida a 35-year-old Japanese-American woman who must confront her painful past in order to re-evaluate her safe but soul-crushing present. Maya works as an artisan weaving cloth and making clothes. She's married to high school English teacher Jeff and they live placidly in Wisconsin near her childhood friend Yuko. When Maya is informed that her father whom she hasn't seen for 25 years has died in Osaka it is the enclosed drawing that jars her memory: her artist father drew a picture of the day 10-year-old Maya left Japan to move to Minneapolis with her mother Kay who had abandoned her husband and Maya three years earlier. Maya attempts to understand why after she moved to the States she never heard from her father again; why the letters she wrote him were returned unopened; why he allowed her to be raised by cruel selfish Kay who has tried to erase every trace of her Japanese origins and encourages her daughter to do the same. In the process Maya comes to terms with her passionless marriage learning to cope with the fear of being alone and falling in love for the first time. This first foray into adult fiction by YA author and memoirist Mori Shizuko's Daughter; The Dream of Water is graceful in its simplicity of language and in the subtle way in which Eastern and Western folk tales are interlaced with the plot line. The pace of the book is perhaps too leisurely maintaining a calm unruffled tone even at the emotional apex but despite the mannered structure Maya's cultural identity and family history are lucidly invoked and her struggle emerges as a universal one. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information. Biography: Kyoko Mori is the author of two novels for young readers One Bird and Shizuko's Daughter which was chosen as a Best Young Children's Book by The New York Times. She has also written two memoirs for adults Polite Lies and The Dream of Water. Born in Kobe Japan Mori moved to the United States as a teenager. She teaches writing at Harvard University.
