currently lives in Tokyo with her baby daughter, and is working on
her second book, a lighthearted look at the life of a single
mother.
" ...A fast read... And her best-selling book has been reprinted 11
times in Japan. Maybe its because it tells it how it is, and its
hardly a romantic portrait of the gangster life."--Giant Robot
"...Deserves an enormous amount of credit for her willingness to
love and accept her family - and herself - regardless of their
flaws."--Bust
"Powerful" Bloomberg News Service
"... Shining a light into a dark and little understood corner of
modern Japan." --The Guardian (U.K.)
"Emotionally complex and thoroughly heart-rending, this book is
recommended for anyone searching for a more thorough and personal
understanding of Japanese society."--Publishers Weekly.com
"Yakuza Moon is a very personal book about a young woman's struggle
to survive in a hostile and brutal environment, and it gives a rare
insight into 'life in the other side' in Japan."--Asia Times
