On Finding Myself in Japan

"In 1980 Cathy Davidson traveled to Japan to teach English at a leading all-women's university. It was to be the first of four journeys, and the beginning of a deep and abiding fascination." "Cathy Davidson had imagined a Japan of rock gardens with raked sand, of delicately arched wooden bridges and glowing paper lanterns. She was not prepared for the grim modernity of Osaka with its garish billboards and dingy concrete apartment blocks. Yet gradually another Japan revealed itself to her - one of rituals and communal baths, of temples with rice-paper walls, of pleasures that are subtle and lasting and deep emotions expressed without words. Even more unexpected, this Japan suggested to her secrets about herself. Spirited and dazzlingly original, 36 Views of Mount Fuji is at once a look at the seductiveness and disappointments of being a stranger in a strange land, the memoir of a deeply personal interior journey, and a poignant meditation on whether we can see things clearly only at a distance." "Paying homage to Hokusai's famous series of woodblock prints, Davidson depicts a series of intimate moments and small epiphanies that together make up a panoramic view of Japan. With wit, candor, and a lover's keen eye, she tells captivating stories - from that of a Buddhist funeral laden with ritual, to a routine health exam at which she commits every possible faux pas. She spends an exhilarating, sometimes baffling evening touring the "Floating World," the sensual demimonde in which salaryman meets geisha and the normal rules are suspended. On a remote island inhabited by the last matriarchal society in the world, a disconcertingly down-to-earth priestess leads her to the heart of a sacred grove. And she spends a few unforgettable weeks in a quasi-Victorian residence called the Practice House, where, until recently, Japanese women were taught American customs so that they would make proper wives for husbands who might be stationed abroad. There, in a virtual parody of American fifties suburbia, unsuspecting young women ate pot roast, mashed potatoes, and Jell-O salad; slept in American bunk beds; and were treated to recordings of Mel Torme and Perry Como. Davidson effortlessly segues from comical anecdotes to sobering ruminations on the nature of the American family and of Japanese womanhood." "36 Views of Mount Fuji not only transforms our image of Japan, it offers us a stirring look at the very nature of culture and identity. Often funny, sometimes liltingly sad, it is as intimate and irresistible as a long-awaited letter from a good friend."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Named a Best Book of 2021 by Newsweek, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times

"A glorious book--an assured novel that's gorgeously told." --The New York Times Book Review
"An incredibly moving epic about an unforgettable family." --CBS Sunday Morning
"[An] absorbing novel...I felt both grateful to have known these people and bereft at the prospect of leaving them behind." --The Washington Post

A stunning novel about love, work, and marriage that asks how far one family and one community will go to protect their future.

Colleen and Rich Gundersen are raising their young son, Chub, on the rugged California coast. It's 1977, and life in this Pacific Northwest logging town isn't what it used to be. For generations, the community has lived and breathed timber; now that way of life is threatened.

Colleen is an amateur midwife. Rich is a tree-topper. It's a dangerous job that requires him to scale trees hundreds of feet tall--a job that both his father and grandfather died doing. Colleen and Rich want a better life for their son--and they take steps to assure their future. Rich secretly spends their savings on a swath of ancient redwoods. But when Colleen, grieving the loss of a recent pregnancy and desperate to have a second child, challenges the logging company's use of the herbicides she believes are responsible for the many miscarriages in the community, Colleen and Rich find themselves on opposite sides of a budding conflict. As tensions in the town rise, they threaten the very thing the Gundersens are trying to protect: their family.

Told in prose as clear as a spring-fed creek, Damnation Spring is an intimate, compassionate portrait of a family whose bonds are tested and a community clinging to a vanishing way of life. An extraordinary story of the transcendent, enduring power of love--between husband and wife, mother and child, and longtime neighbors. An essential novel for our times.

A Novel

Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz encounters bridezilla—and murder—in another delectable novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Sweet Revenge, Dark Tort, and Double Shot Cynics say getting married is a death wish. . . . It's been a long, rainy summer for Goldy Schulz, who is engaged in planning wedding receptions for what seems to be all of Aspen Meadow. It's bad enough that Billie Attenborough, the bride from hell, has changed her menu six times and the event date twice. Now she wants to move the location to the Gold Gulch Spa just a scant two days before tying the knot to her doctor fiancé. Then Doc Finn, beloved local physician and the best friend of Goldy's godfather, Jack, is killed when his car tumbles into a ravine. At least that's what appears to have happened. But Jack thinks Doc was murdered because of the research he was doing at the spa—allegations that are confirmed when Jack himself is attacked. So Goldy dons chef's whites and goes undercover at the spa, where coffee is outlawed in favor of calming smoothies, and the fruit cocktail doesn't include fresh fruit. Add in the obstreperous owner, who years ago tried to sabotage Goldy's fledgling business, and she's got her hands full. Above all, there seems to be a clever killer on the spa grounds, watching her every move. After what befell Jack, Goldy knows that she might be next. Catering weddings, and cooking low-fat food, could be killing her—literally.

A Legacy of Memories from 1939 Sweden

The small coastal town of Astoria, Oregon is the beginning setting of this mysterious story of inter-generational trauma. Lena Larson, a shy young girl, growing up in an all-woman household with a domineering Swedish grandmother, Helga and a stoic mother, Sofia, a seamstress, suffers from hearing her grandmother scream at nights. Neither she nor her mother know the cause of Helga's nocturnal outcries. Lena aspires to be a writer and spends her days writing in her journal with her cat, Pumpkin, always at her side. When Lena begins to suffer from insomnia, she and her mother know they must try to find out what happened to Grandmother when she visited her brothers in Sweden in 1939, just before Hitler invaded Poland and WWII began. What secrets did Helga leave behind? Why won't she reveal certain details about missing photos in her old photo album when she shares it with Lena. When Lena receives a scholarship to study at the Sorbonne in Paris, she is excited to begin a new life. Just when she starts to overcome her shyness and meets Joseph, an artist, a possible romantic partner, she is called back to Astoria to her mother's deathbed. Her mother urges her to go to Sweden and uncover what happened there on the family farm in 1939, to learn more about the mysterious death of Grandmother's sister-in-law, Rebecca, Johann's Jewish wife from Poland and to bury her grandmother's ashes. During her winter break from the Sorbonne Lena travels to Sweden by train to meet her relatives. She arrives to learn the distressing news that the one person who can help her, Johann has died. There remains only two other people who can shed light on the mystery of the past: Hanna, the second wife to Johann and Lena's endearing second cousin, Axel, who is mentally challenged. Lena's search for the truth of her family's history takes her on an interesting and mystery-packed journey with an unexpected twist at the end.
