Read LM Fiction Editor, Suzanne Kamata’s interview with Tokoyo Families Magazine……

Completing and publishing a book is no mean feat in any circumstances. American author Suzanne Kamata wrote her first novel Losing Kei while raising twins in provincial Tokushima in Shikoku.

“Motherhood in Japan is potentially all-consuming. I was determined to keep a little bit of time for myself,” she says. “At times, I wrote in 20-minute increments, whenever I had the chance–while waiting for a pot to boil or late at night.”
