ABOUT THE BOOK
A deeply moving story set in contemporary Tokyo, from Mieko Kawakami, the author of Breasts and Eggs and Heaven.
Fuyuko Irie is a freelance proofreader in her thirties. Living alone in an overwhelming city and unable to form meaningful relationships, she has little contact with anyone other than her colleague, Hijiri. But a chance encounter with a man named Mitsutsuka awakens something new in her. Through their weekly meetings, Fuyuko starts to see the world in a different light and painful memories from her past begin to resurface.
As Fuyuko realizes she exists in a small world of her own making she begins to push at her own boundaries. But will she find the strength to bring down the walls that surround her?
Translated from the Japanese by Sam Bett and David Boyd.
