Product Information

"I may have spent most of my life in New Jersey, but the blood of a geisha courses through me yet." So writes Mako Yoshikawa in this extraordinary debut novel which is sure to evoke comparisons to the works of Amy Tan and Alice Walker. One Hundred and One Ways is the story of a woman who, finding herself torn between two men and two cultures, turns for answers to an unknown Japanese grandmother, once a famous geisha. If Kiki Takehashi's life is dramatically different from the one lived by her reserved Japanese-American mother, it is light-years away from that of her grandmother, whom she knows only through old family stories. Kiki has recently become engaged to Eric, a handsome, successful lawyer in New York City. But at the same time she is haunted--quite literally--by the memory of her friend Phillip, killed the previous year in a mountaineering accident. As Kiki herself is well aware, her incessant mourning for Phillip--her love of a ghost--is endangering her chance at real-life happiness with Eric. Yet her relationship with Eric is also complicated by her fear that he is attracted to her only because of his erotic fascination with Asian women. Kiki has never so much as met her grandmother, the woman for whom she is named. Still, thoroughly American though she is, she feels a secret kinship with the nearly legendary Yukiko, whose impoverished family sold her as a young girl to a geisha house. Kiki is swept up by the story of this strong, proud, passionate woman who, against all odds, in a time and place far different from her own, found the love that has so far eluded the rest of the Takehashi women. For years, Kiki has collected questions to ask her grandmother--queries on subjects ranging from love, loss, and family to the myth of exoticism which hangs over Asian-American women and geishas alike. In the wake of Phillip's return as a ghost, Kiki awaits Yukiko's imminent visit to America with a renewed eagerness, trusting that this unknown woman will provide answers to the mysteries of her past and guide her on her way into the future. Lyrical, haunting, and stunningly evocative, One Hundred and One Ways introduces a powerful and exciting new voice in contemporary fiction.

Reviews
"An extraordinarily polished and graceful look at three generations of women and their lost loves.... Yoshikawa's elegant prose adds resonance to this exploration of mothers and daughters, husbands and lovers, sex and commitment, Japan and America... pensive, erotic, deeply moving." --Publishers Weekly(starred review) "A thoughtful and magnetic tale...With art and keen perception, Yoshikawa has created here characters that we will grieve with, embrace and remember a long time." --Chitra Divakaruni, author ofThe Mistress of Spices "Mako Yoshikawa's debut is thoroughly captivating." --Lisa See, author ofFlower Net "Like Arthur Golden'sMemoirs of a Geisha,One Hundred and One Waysallows us to inhabit a way of life half a world and half a century distant from our own. And like Isabel Allende'sThe House of the Spiritsand Kaye Gibbons'Charms for the Easy Life, it traces the desires and discoveries of three generations of women. One of the greatest pleasures ofOne Hundred and One Waysis the patterns of connection and rejection and influence made by that braid of generations." --Jean Hegland, author ofInto the Forest, "An extraordinarily polished and graceful look at three generations of women and their lost loves....
