Invisible Gardens by Julie Shigekuni [in AsianWeek]

Invisible GardensThe follow-up to the award-winning A Bridge Between Us, Shigekuni’s newest novel tells the haunting story of Lily Soto, a young Japanese American woman who appears to have the perfect life with her adoring husband, their two perfect children, a sympathetic next-door neighbor, and a new professorship. But that perfection falls apart when a fellow Japanese American colleague challenges her very being, and she all-too-quickly enters into a desperate affair with him.
