Notes
Description
Flo is sick of Tokyo. Her translation work has dried up and she's in a relationship that's run its course. Then she finds a mysterious book left by a fellow passenger on the Tokyo Subway and immediately feels compelled to translate this forgotten novel. It is a story about Ayako, a fierce and strict old woman who runs a coffee shop in the small town of Onomichi, where she has just taken guardianship of her grandson, Kyo. Haunted by long-buried family tragedy, both have suffered extreme loss and feel unable to open up to each other. As Flo follows the characters across a year in rural Japan, through the ups and downs of the pair's burgeoning relationship, she quickly realises that she needs to venture outside the pages of the book to track down its elusive author. And, as her two protagonists reveal themselves to have more in common with her life than first meets the eye, the lines between text and translator converge.
