Monica Sone writes to Wolfgang Hampel

Dear Wolfgang,

Thank you so much for the many articles you passed on to me.

I became giddy from all the compliments. And, also, I cannot get over the feeling that the Monica Sone people talk about is not really me. People are extravagantly kind. One has to be careful or my head will explode. But, Wolfgang, you were very sweet writing your article. I like it very much.

Isn't it wonderful that we are such good friends, although we never met. If we had met in person, we would have riotous, good time & never stopped talking. I will send a message to Linde Lund to thank her.

A kiss to master Peter on his cheek !

And lots of love to all of you.

Monica

Happy Birthday dear Monica Sone

Dear Monica Sone,

Happy Birthday dear Monica Sone!

What can I say after such a statement?

Wolfgang Hampel did it well, didn't he?

Dear Monica Sone, we all adore your writing skills and your brilliant personality.
I'd like to say thank you so much for writing this very important work of literature because I among others had no idea about this dark part of history.
Therefore Nisei Daughter is so important and after reading it nobody will ever forget it.

Best wishes,

Linde Lund
