## Description

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF KITCHEN 'The voice of young Japan.' INDEPENDENT 'The literary equivalent of a lo-fi playlist.' JAPAN TIMES '[Yoshimoto] is the supreme poet of solitude.' SPECTATOR An elegiac story of two young cousins coming of age at the Japanese seaside. Maria has grown up at the seaside alongside her cousin Tsugumi, a lifelong invalid, charismatic, spoiled and occasionally cruel. Now Maria is moving to Tokyo to go to university. When Tsugumi invites Maria to spend a last summer by the sea, a restful idyll becomes a time of dramatic growth as Tsugumi finds love, and Maria learns the true meaning of home and family. Readers love Banana Yoshimoto: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I love her ability to make the mundane glorious and the supernatural and unbelievably unlikely commonplace' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Yoshimoto is there to show us that there is beauty in the simplest things and truth in life's most brutal moments' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'She paints a picture with her words unlike anyone else I've ever read'

Review: Wonderful - That feeling you get when you finish a truly wonderful story is amazing. I'm in a state of bliss right now, I'll tell you. Miss Banana has done it again, creating a fictional seaside town with dogs and people that I've loved reading about. That Tsugumi is such a cow but you like her because Maria loves her. I don't know if it was the translation from the Japanese or if that was the intention to create a blasé and harsh form of address but Tsugumi's use of "babe" annoyed me. However, maybe that's how Japanese teens spoke in the 90s!
Review: an interesting read - I enjoyed this book on most fronts. A touching tale well told the only discord was the way the American/English translation brought too much American atmosphere thereby losing what I believe would have been a strong Japanese flavour.

### ⭐⭐⭐ A pleasant read
*by P***X on 8 July 2021*

A pleasant story that was easy to read in terms of the flow of the storyline, but not easy to read with the very small text size.
