Clara Kumagai
From Catfish Rolling's Clara Kumagai, a second novel full of longing, love and heartbreak, inspired by Puccini's Madame Butterfly.
Turn the page, strike a chord.
There are restless ghosts to be appeased...
When Japanese-American teenager, Adam, discovers a diary in his attic, he is enthralled by its account of a young Japanese woman’s life. A hundred years separate them yet she, like Adam, is caught between cultures, relationships and heartbreak.
She also writes of the ghosts that have begun to seek her out, which Adam dismisses as fantasy – until he too, begins to be haunted. It leads him to Nagasaki, trying to solve the mystery of the diary, and his own identity.
And the ghosts gather...©2025 Clara Kumagai (P)2025 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

'Spanning multiple generations, with revelations that will leave readers truly gripped, this novel is a beautiful tale of love, family and identity'
'With all the deftness of a master biwa player, Kumagai skillfully strings together the lives of its characters both past and present. Hauntingly tender and full of warmth, Songs for Ghosts is a book that will stay with you long after the last page.'
'With deft grace, Clara Kumagai has taken a strained and challenging song and made it her own... A contemporary ghost story that explores ideas of love and voice with sympathy for the imperfect and a kaidan's atmospheric strangeness, you will enjoy this if you like Madame Butterfly, and you will enjoy this if you don't.'
'Songs for Ghosts is a beautiful and layered novel about love, grief, memory — and how they all weave together. It is at once poignant and sincere, and its story and characters will stay with you long after the last page'
'Clara Kumagai’s second novel beautifully and movingly explores ideas of identity, loss and belonging across different cultures... compelling'
