Tokyo dreaming a novel emiko jean5/13/2023 Look for the bestselling sequel, Tokyo Dreaming, out now. Will Izumi crumble under the weight of the crown, or will she live out her fairy tale, happily ever after? Izumi soon finds herself caught between worlds, and between versions of herself-back home, she was never “American” enough, and in Japan, she must prove she’s “Japanese” enough. There are conniving cousins, a hungry press, a scowling but handsome bodyguard who just might be her soulmate, and thousands of years of tradition and customs to learn practically overnight. But being a princess isn’t all ball gowns and tiaras. Emiko Jean’s writing oscillates between being poetic and grounded, perfectly capturing the grandness and difficulties of navigating life as a teenager, especially when you’re a princess. In a whirlwind, Izumi travels to Japan to meet the father she never knew and discover the country she always dreamed of. Which means outspoken, irreverent Izzy is literally a princess. But then Izumi discovers a clue to her previously unknown father’s identity…and he’s none other than the Crown Prince of Japan. Raised by a single mother, it’s always been Izumi-or Izzy, because “It’s easier this way”-and her mom against the world. Izumi Tanaka has never really felt like she fit in-it isn’t easy being Japanese American in her small, mostly white, northern California town. Emiko Jean’s New York Times bestseller and Reese Book Club Pick Tokyo Ever After is the “refreshing, spot-on” ( Booklist, starred review) story of an ordinary Japanese American girl who discovers that her father is the Crown Prince of Japan!

Postscript cecelia ahern5/12/2023 With her trademark blend of romance, humor, and bittersweet life lessons, Postscript is the perfect follow-up to Ahern’s beloved first novel. Suddenly, Holly finds herself drawn back into a world she’s worked tirelessly to leave behind - but one that leads her on another incredible, life-affirming journey. When Holly’s sister asks her to tell the story of the “PS, I Love You” letters on her podcast - to revisit the messages Gerry wrote before his death to read after his passing - she does so reluctantly, not wanting to reopen old wounds.īut after the episode airs, people start reaching out to Holly, and they all have one thing in common: they’re terminally ill and want to leave their own missives behind for loved ones. Seven years after her husband’s death - six since she read his final letter - Holly Kennedy has moved on with her life. Holly Kennedy is a beautiful caring person. All the characters portrayed in Postscript are very authentic, so very real, that it almost felt a privilege to be reading their story. Cecelia Ahern vividly portrays the hurt, the anger, the frustration, the pain and the fear of death but also the hope. Sixteen years after Cecelia Ahern’s bestselling phenomenon PS, I Love You captured the hearts of millions, the long-awaited sequel follows Holly as she helps strangers leave their own messages behind for loved ones. Postscript is a very sensitively written novel. The letters are linked by explanatory biographical passages, revealing van Gogh's inner journey as well as the outer facts of his life. Above all, they stand as an intense personal narrative of artistic development and a unique account of the process of creation. Engaging candidly and movingly with his religious struggles, his ill-fated search for love, his attacks of mental illness and his relation with his brother Theo, the letters contradict the popular myth of van Gogh as an anti-social madman and a martyr to art, showing instead a man of great emotional and spiritual depths. In this Penguin Classics edition, the letters are selected and edited by Ronald de Leeuw, and translated by Arnold Pomerans in Penguin Classics.įew artists' letters are as self-revelatory as Vincent van Gogh's, and this selection, spanning his artistic career, sheds light on every facet of the life and work of this complex and tortured man. A new selection of post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gough's letters, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh put a human face on one of the most haunting figures in modern Western culture.
