![]() ![]() So it took, let’s see… when did I sell it? I don’t even remember. How long did it take you to write it, and did you have a long or short revision process?

I wished with my whole heart to see myself in the books that I loved, in books like The Princess Diaries. And in reflecting on my adolescence, I also remembered not being able to find books that featured Japanese American protagonists, or books that were even written by Japanese Americans. It started more with me being interested in writing a story about a Japanese American, like myself, who is searching for her identity, a place where she belongs, which is something I struggled with as an adolescent. It’s so funny, because that wasn’t where the story started. Can you talk about your inspiration behind this duology? Your book is being compared to The Princess Diaries and Crazy Rich Asians. ![]() ![]() ![]() She writes sports romance, billionaire romance, small town romance, contemporary fiction and YA. ![]() Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other.

It was an experience of vulnerability where we got to know each other intimately––learning about everyone’s fears, aspirations, and even some secrets.

Anthony Doerr, from my limited experience of two novels, seems to like two things – multiple-points-of-view and young protagonists. Those of you who have read the novel will know what I’m talking about, but for the rest of you I’ll take a step back. Indeed, the central event of the book takes place in a public library. Thank you Anthony! Cloud Cuckoo Land, at over 600 pages, is a big book and, like most big books, is about a lot of things, but threading through it is the idea of the book – and of the role played by librarians in fostering knowledge and reading. It goes like this “For the librarians then, now, and in the years to come”. There was a collective cheer from the four librarians in my reading group when one of our members read Anthony Doerr’s dedication for his latest novel, Cloud Cuckoo Land. ![]() ![]() ![]() For more details, please consult the latest information provided by Royal Mail's International Incident Bulletin. ![]() We are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.
