Beskrivning
'Every sentence reads like poetry' Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
'Riveting, beguiling, thoroughly unique' Sara Baume, author of Opening Night
In a very few, perfectly chosen words, Alejandra Kamiya conjures vast territories of shadow: all that we can never fully express.
As dawn breaks, a woman prepares to make a perfect breakfast for her husband and son, while a subtle note of disquiet grows louder. An isolated Japanese soldier obeys an inexplicable command, and his sense of identity begins to dissolve. Two girls discover themselves through electrically charged games, which they will recall in letters for the rest of their lives.
Set between Japan and Argentina, these entrancing stories of loss and exile circle around our deepest, most mysterious emotional truths, culminating in startling moments of revelation.

Recensioner i media
Kamiya's collection is remarkable in its variety but united by its laconic, sometimes elliptical style. These are teasing, satisfying stories to be savoured slowly
