The Baseball Widow Suzanne Kamata

“Suzanne Kamata's The Baseball Widow embeds her readers in the thorny lives of Japanese high school baseball coaches and bicultural families with evenhanded compassion and insight. Kamata is a dazzling, deeply empathetic writer.” Kevin Chong, author of The Plague

"Through a diverse group of characters brought together by Japan's passion for baseball, Kamata explores identity, the loss of idealism, and the ragged beauties to be found in that loss." – Annabel Lyon, author of the Women's Prize longlisted novel Consent

"Suzanne Kamata has penned yet another compelling pageturner about life and love in Japan, telling it like it is, with details and background I can vouch for as a fellow ex-pat." – Wendy Jones Nakanishi, a.k.a. Lea O'Harra, author of Lady First (An Inspector Inoue Mystery)
