 "\n\n"A strange\, beautiful\, and unexpected exploration of the fallout o
 f family tragedy."\n\n—Kirkus Reviews\, (starred review) [read full revie
 w]\n\n“By turns comic and tragic\, Mitch Wieland’s The Ghosts of Okuma is
  a sharply-written and brilliantly-paced novel that manages to become bot
 h a satisfying love story and a devastating look at the lives of one fami
 ly shattered by suicide and another displaced by the 2011 Fukushima nucle
 ar disaster. It’s so funny\, charming\, and infused with tenderness that 
 it’s a pure pleasure to read—even as it’s simultaneously deadly serious. 
 Like Virgil leading Dante through the underworld\, Yoshimi leads Wyatt ev
 er closer to the damaged reactors\, where they find love and a path towar
 d rebuilding their shattered families.”\n\n—Anthony Doerr\, author of All
  the Light We Cannot See\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize\n\nAbout Mitch Wi
 eland\n\nMitch Wieland is the author of the novels Willy Slater’s Lane an
