About the Book:

The Dream of Water by Kyoko Mori is a deeply personal and lyrical memoir that explores themes of memory, grief, identity, and cultural belonging. The book follows Mori’s return to Japan after years of living in America, where she confronts painful memories of family, loss, and emotional isolation. Through reflective storytelling and poetic prose, Mori examines the tension between traditional expectations and personal freedom, while navigating the complexities of living between two cultures. The memoir also offers insight into Japanese society, family dynamics, and the emotional challenges of displacement and self-discovery. Published by One World, this paperback edition is a moving and introspective read for those interested in memoirs, cross-cultural experiences, women’s writing, and contemporary literature.
