Monica Sone First Betty MacDonald Fan Club Honour Member

Hello this is Martine,

We have wonderful news!

Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Betty MacDonald's wonderful friend, described as Kimi in Betty MacDonald's The Plague and I, is the first Honour Member of Betty MacDonald Fan Club and Society. You will receive many more info in our next Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Wolfgang Hampel - author of the Betty MacDonald Biography and winner of the first Betty MacDonald Memorial Award - wrote about Monica Sone:

Monica Sone has fans all over the world. She wrote Nisei Daughter and many authors adore her book for example David Guterson, author of Snow falling on Cedars. We got so many comments from our international fans. They learned so much after reading Nisei Daughter.To us it's one of the most important books we've ever read.

Thanks A Million dear Monica Sone in the name of your many fans for writing this fascinating autobiography. It's so important to know history and to learn from the past. We can understand everything much better because of your book Nisei Daughter.

Monica, you are so very bright, brave, wise, witty and you have the most beautiful voice ever just the way our beloved Betty MacDonald described you as Kimi in The Plague and I. Nobody wants to be ill and stay in a hospital but with you I bet it would be like in paradise.

Monica, I just love and enjoy our phone calls so much. To me it's such a gift.

Lots of love and kisses and hugs and many greetings to you and your family especially to Susan, because she does a great job and every time I talk to you you sound younger and younger.
You are a miracle, a genius but very human and warm!

Remain strong and healthy, please, dear Monica!

Many hugs and greetings from Master Peter to great Lady Monica!

The world needs wonderful personalities like you so much.

Thanks A Million for your outstanding friendship!

We are with you and your family and friends in our thoughts.

All our love
Wolfgang, Angelika and Peter -
your old Wolf and your many fans worldwide

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.

Thank you so much!

Regards,

Linde Lund

Monica Sone wrote 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
