About the author
Samantha Sotto Yambao is a Filipino novelist whose books combine romance with speculative devices involving time, memory, travel, and alternate realities. She published her debut, Before Ever After, after developing the manuscript while living in Manila.
Water Moon brings that interest to a hidden Tokyo pawnshop where customers surrender regrets. No dedicated English Wikipedia biography is available, so the external reference is the broader magical-realism topic rather than an identity claim.
Where to start
Start with Water Moon for a romantic fantasy about a pawnshop for choices, or Before Ever After for the time-bending journey that introduced her fiction.
