Love Upon the Chopping Board (Paperback)

Marou Izumo and Claire Maree met at a bar in Tokyo. Separated by seventeen years difference in age, by their cultural origins, and by the requirements of visas, they have managed to maintain their relationship through these vicissitudes. Autobiography, duobiography, love story, cross-cultural reflections, lesbian history -- this book is all of these things and more. It looks at different perceptions and attitudes towards lesbians in Japan and Australia.
