By the author of the bestselling THE CONVENIENCE STORE BY THE SEA
Your next read for fans of ALL THE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT and MY GLORY - the bestselling winner of the Japan Booksellers' Award: a deeply moving story of vulnerability and finding your voice as a woman fleeing hard times befriends a young boy who cannot speak.
Emotional rescue is a two-way street. Kiko has run away from her Tokyo life to a rural village by the sea and rumours are flying among the locals about this mysterious newcomer.
When she comes across an abandoned boy who is unable to speak, an unusual bond develops as she shares a tale of the lonely whale whose voice is too high-pitched for others to hear. As she unpicks the boy's story, and he unravels hers, a gripping and powerful history of strength, survival and finding your voice begins to unfold.
