"Ogawa is original, elegant, very disturbing." –Hilary Mantel, author of WOLF HALL
"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 on The Housekeeper and the Professor "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 on The Housekeeper and the Professor "Strangely charming, flecked with enough wit and mystery to keep us engaged throughout." –
The Washington Post Book World on The Housekeeper and the Professor "Still waters run dark in these bright yet eerie novellas, whose crisp, almost guileless prose hides unexpected menace." –
The New York Times Book Review on The Diving Pool "Exquisitly disturbing . . . Ogawa steadily builds the tension to an unexpected crescendo." –
Elle on The Diving Pool "Ogawa writes in a lean, muscular way that goes deep, exploring how malevolence coexists with everyday impulse. . . . She creates a memorable unease." –
