STONE FIELD, TRUE ARROW
by Kyoko Mori

Boston Globe:

Elegant, complex, and subtle novel ... sumptuous.

New York Times Book Review:

A sweet and sorrowful book about love ... a heartbreaking novel that has as much to say about art as it does about longing.

Publishers Weekly:

This first foray into adult fiction is graceful in its simplicity of language and in the subtle way in which Eastern and Western folk tales are interlaced with the plot line ... Maya's cultural identity and family history are lucidly invoked, and her struggle emerges as a universal one.

Madison Capital Times:

Kyoko Mori is an artist with words. She stitches them together in phrases that make you catch your breath. The passages about painting are some of the strongest in the book. Mori makes ... the art process as compelling as the relationship between Maya and Eric.

Bookreporter.com:

STONE FIELD, TRUE ARROW is a beautifully rendered book about the complexities of balancing where you came from with where you want to be going. Mori's language is poetic ... her strong suit as a novelist is her succinct way of letting the reader in on the interior monologues that are going on in her character's head. Maya ... becomes a compelling beacon of change for everyone around her. Mori has created a wondrous female protagonist ... STONE FIELD, TRUE ARROW is a beautiful and moving portrait of a real adult character.
