Pover, Caroline: - Caroline Pover was born in Devon in 1971, grew up in Plymouth, and attended Exeter University before moving to Tokyo in 1996, in search of adventure. She lived in Japan full-time for almost fifteen years, running a number of businesses, giving speeches, and winning numerous awards for her entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavours. Caroline unexpectedly ended up in the UK in the weeks after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. She spent the following years going back and forth between Japan and England, fundraising and also managing recovery projects for the remote fishing communities on Oshika - a peninsula that was very badly affected by the tsunami. To date, she has raised �170,000, which has funded over thirty different projects to help these communities rebuild. Caroline now lives in the Cotswolds, where she established Auntie Caroline's - a pickled onion and chutney business. She goes home to Japan every year. This is her fifth book, and first memoir - she considers it her love letter to Oshika.
