An Interview with Catherine Hanrahan, author of Lost Girls and Love Hotels

Welcome to episode 5 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

In this episode, we speak to Catherine Hanrahan, author of Lost Girls and Love Hotels.

Set in Tokyo, this novel tells a story of running away from painful memories, to a place so strange and maze-like, it both disorients and somehow points the way back home. The novel draws heavily on Catherine Hanrahan's own experiences living in Japan.

Lost Girls and Love Hotels is available at bookstores and online retailers now.
