SOLVED. Adult Sci Fi? Japanese female author I think? The story occurs in an island where mysterious things happen. Maybe the main character is a journalist? [s]

I think the genre is sci-fi-ish, maybe a bit Orwellian?

Leo, around what year did you read this book? A range of years is fine.

Are there references to Japan in the story? What's the time period?

Why is the main character on the island? Alone?

Hi Kris, i have already found it. It was The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. Thank you!
