For fans of Sujata Massey and her Rei Shimura books, this is the 11th book in the mystery series concerning Rei, a Japanese-American, and her sleuthing in Tokyo. In The Kizuna Coast, Rei travels to Japan just after the 2011 triple disaster to help rescue her antique-dealer friend Mr. Ishida. This is light fiction compared to the other books we’ve highlighted in this issue, so might be a good place to start if you want an introduction to Japan’s Tohoku Earthquake, the volunteers who went up to help, and the aftermath of the event. Oh, and there’s a dog involved whose name is, of course, Hachiko!
