The Sun In My Eyes, the second instalment of Josie's journey around Japan, is published in paperback in the UK on May 2nd by Time Warner Paperbacks. Following on from A Ride In The Neon Sun, Josie returns to Japan and uncovers a country whose keyword is peace, yet spends millions each year on high-tech armament. Her travels are as fascinating as they are varied; she endures a horrific storm at sea, samples the deadly puffer fish and visits the two cities which will forever symbolise the horror of war: Nagasaki and Hiroshima. But wherever she goes, no matter how remote or industrious the area, Josie encounters the friendly, quirky and unbelievably generous Japanese people, from those who load her down with cabbages and cans of Pocari Sweat to one couple who left her the key to their shop - and told her to sleep by the till!
