'Vivid and intriguing - an elegantly cryptic, poetically plotted Murakami-esque whydunit.' -Sharlene Teo, award-winning author of Ponti ' A a complex, interpersonal mystery ... A tremendous examination of sadness ... A book with heart about the mysteries of the heart.' -Benjamin Welton, New York Journal of Books 'If her debut novel brings Murakami to mind, her second, with its winsome tone, harkens to early Banana Yoshimoto. However, with her blend of mystery, magic and social issues - in this case, sexual abuse, transgender awareness and suicide - Goenawan is developing her own distinct brand.' -Suzanne Kamata, The Japan Times Full Product DetailsAuthor: Clarissa GoenawanPublisher: Scribe Publications Imprint: Scribe Publications Dimensions: Width: 13.50cm , Height: 2.40cm , Length: 20.80cm Weight: 0.296kg ISBN: 9781922310286ISBN 10: 192231028 Pages: 288 Publication Date: 29 September 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
