"Ogawa is original, elegant, very disturbing."--Hilary Mantel, author of WOLF HALL
Praise for The Housekeeper and the Professor:
"I've been telling everyone about this book. . . . It's a story about love, which is quite different from a love story. It's one of the most beautiful novels."--Junot Diaz
"Gorgeous, cinematic. . . This novel has all the charm and restraint of any by Ishiguro or Kenzaburo Oe, and the whimsy of Murakami."--Los Angeles Times
"Strangely charming, flecked with enough wit and mystery to keep us engaged throughout."--The Washington Post Book World
Praise for The Diving Pool:
"Still waters run dark in these bright yet eerie novellas, whose crisp, almost guileless prose hides unexpected menace."--The New York Times Book Review
"Exquisitly disturbing . . . Ogawa steadily builds the tension to an unexpected crescendo."--Elle
"Ogawa writes in a lean, muscular way that goes deep, exploring how malevolence coexists with everyday impulse. . . . She creates a memorable unease."--Los Angeles Times
