ABOUT THE BOOK
Winner of the Noma Literary New Writer Prize
A young woman, newly separated from her husband, lives alone in Tokyo with her two-year-old daughter. The novel's twelve chapters follow the first year of that separation, month by month.
Light runs through every page, sometimes comforting and sometimes dangerous: sun pouring through the windows of a top-floor flat, dappled light in a park, fireworks in the distance, the glare of floodwater, the dim glow of streetlamps. Written in delicate, carefully patterned prose, Territory of Light builds slowly into something quietly powerful, and its images stay with you long after the last page.
Translated from the Japanese by Geraldine Harcourt.
