Its fearlessly honest, occasionally heartbreaking, and extremely funny, and I cant recommend it highly enough." — Curtis Sittenfeld, New York Times bestselling author of Prep and American WifeIn Malena Watrous beautifully wrought and deftly written debut novel, we meet Marina, a young woman who has come to the small, rural Japanese town of Shika to teach English for a year. For her, Shika is more than just her home as a "temporary person." Its also an attempt to escape the reality that has followed her since her father committed suicide only a year earlier. Marina is a big city girl is in a small town filled with off-beat characters, including an ambitious town matchmaker, a dentist looking for free English lessons, a high school student who idolizes Western rap artists, and finally Marinas America-obsessed supervisor, Hiro, a town leader whose friendship teaches her more than she ever expected. If You Follow Me is at once a fish-out-of-water tale, a dark comedy of manners, and a strange kind of love story that explores the tension of being the outsider in an intimate community and the joy in finding that human nature is the same everywhere.
