Więcej o książce

Rei, Kiki and Ai are three sisters divided by distance and circumstance. They have lost both parents, one way or another, and found their own ways of carrying on. Rei works for a financial corporation in London, halfway across the world from where she grew up. Back in Tokyo, Kiki is the single mother of a young son, working in a care home. Ai, the youngest, is a Japanese music idol. When Ai is embroiled in a scandal and suddenly thrust into the spotlight, Rei has to pick up the pieces of her family once more. Reuniting for the summer in their childhood home on the Japanese coast, the sisters are forced to confront the legacy of their mother's suicide, the stories they have told themselves ever since and the question of how they want to live. A transporting and redemptive novel about love and loss, this new novel from the author of Fault Lines confirms Emily Itami as a talent to watch.
