I'm teaching English in a remote city in Japan.
My neighbors are nosy, my students are uninspired,
and I'm wondering if I made a mistake rooming with my girlfriend!!

"In Japan we eat fish like this," Kobayashi-sensei says, popping a whole sardine into his mouth. I smile dutifully, trying to tune out the crunch of tiny bones being ground to a paste.

Ewww, very descriptive teaser! Enjoy.
ReplyDeletePutting this one on my wish list! Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this book yet, but I do like stories about people adjusting to new cultures and countries, so it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI saw this cover the other day on your blog and it made me curious about the book. After reading the quote I'm not so curious anymore. lol
ReplyDeleteOooh! Interested in your thoughts on this one. I enjoy a good foreigner in Japan story, having been one myself.
ReplyDeleteI want to read this for the cover and the fact that it's set in Japan alone.
ReplyDeleteI'm in England this week. This is what I'm reading:
ReplyDelete"That bitch knew everything. She had been in on it from the start."
I cannot put down the book and I wish to take a day off just to read it. It's a spoiler so anyone interested can contact me about the title. :)
Great teaser!
