Joiner's second novel, set in the fabled Kanazawa area, delves into the intimate and understated journey of an American seeking recovery after his marriage to a Japanese woman fails.
After Nozomi abandons Sedge and their marriage, taking all their money and leaving him with a ceramics shop he cannot manage alone, her brother and his wife offer him a lifeline at their Japanese hot spring inn until he can regain his footing. As he progresses forward from this devastating setback in his life, he becomes entangled in the lives of Nozomi's brother and his wife, as well as her stepson, a troubled 16-year-old whose jealousy and potential for violence contrast with his interest in birds, origami, and the haiku of Matsuo Basho. What unfolds in the shadow of "the immortal mountain of cranes" will forever alter their lives.
Set in Kanazawa and Yamanaka Onsen near the Sea of Japan, "The Heron Catchers" explores the profound significance of recognizing suffering in both others and oneself, cultivating compassion, and placing trust in those who offer love in the aftermath of loss.
"The Heron Catchers" is the second installment in a series of novels set in and around the Japanese city of Kanazawa.
