In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there's only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates' bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great grandmother, a Buddhist nun who's lived more than a century. A diary is Nao's only solace--and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine. Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox--possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao's drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future. Full of Ozeki's signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home"-- Awards:  Asian/Pacific American Award for Adult Fiction, 2013-2014.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki (pbk) Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked out 06/26/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked out 07/11/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki Realistic Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library YA -- Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Ozeki   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
