A heart-stopping story of teenage girls on the brink in 1990s Tokyo from the International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of HEAVEN and BREASTS AND EGGS.
Hana has nothing but she’s hopeful. She’s fifteen years old. She lives in a tiny apartment in Tokyo with her mother.
They have no money, no security. Then the enigmatic Kimiko appears. She offers Hana a way out.
Together they set up Lemon, a shabby bar that becomes their haven. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves and friends to share her days with, but the glittering promise of money soon gives way to a dangerous world. Trapped between her own paranoia and the violence of the city's dark underbelly, Hana is forced to make choices that will echo throughout the decades to come.
A masterpiece of teenage dreams and adult cruelties, Sisters in Yellow confirms Mieko Kawakami as one of the great writers of her generation.
