"The Japanese Lover is a poetic and profound meditation on the
power of love: a common theme, sure, but in Allende's capable hands
this trope is made utterly new."-- "Bustle"
"The Japanese Lover is animated by the same lush spirit that has
sold 65 million copies of her books around the world... a novel
that's a pleasure to recommend."-- "The Washington Post"
"Isabel Allende's oeuvre ranges widely...but The Japanese Lover,
her lushly detailed new work, may be her most expansive yet..."--
"Library Journal"
"With The Japanese Lover, Allende reminds us that, while not
everyone has a true love, we all have loves that are true. Whether
they be passionate, familial, unrequited or timeless, the one
constant in our lives is love. And Isabel Allende celebrates them
all, beautifully."-- "USA Today"
