Love as a Second Language

"An intensely original story of love, betrayal and survival, played out in a foreign, yet familiar land." - Donald Richie, author of "The Inland Sea" When Justin Cooper's world suddenly collapses he finds that his would-be rescuer is the very same woman, Kishiko, who triggered his downfall; except she is now the Kishiko of his dreams - and invisible to all but himself. He senses that, to survive, he must follow the lead of his phantom lover, trusting in the powers of instinct and imagination. Provided the original Kishiko doesn't kill him first.
