My fish will live
29.99 €
Ruth Ozeki is a Japanese-American scholar of classical Japanese literature, a florist, and a passionate theater and filmmaker. In 2010, she was ordained as a Buddhist priest. Ozeki is active on university campuses and divides her time between Brooklyn and Cortes Island, British Columbia, where she writes, knits socks, and raises ducks with her husband, Oliver.
Ruth, a writer living on a secluded Canadian island, discovers a collection of wondrous objects in a Hello Kitty lunchbox washed ashore after the devastating 2011 tsunami—including the diary of sixteen-year-old Naoko from Tokyo. For a girl tired of bullying from her classmates and family dysfunction, these notes, in which she tries to talk about her great-grandmother, a Buddhist nun who lived for over a century, are her only solace, and she can't even imagine how deeply they will touch the lives of strangers. Across the Pacific, Ruth, increasingly immersed in the past, the tragedy of a Japanese schoolgirl and her fate, begins to see her own present and future with a new perspective.
"My Fish Will Live" is a novel full of subtle irony and a profound understanding of the relationships between author, reader, and characters, reality and fantasy, quantum physics, history, and myth. It is a captivating, enchanting story about humanity and the search for home.
