About this Event
We can't wait to discuss the latest novel from one of the great writers of her generation, Mieko Kawakami's, (translated by Laurel Taylor and Hitomi Yoshio).
From the award-winning author of Breasts and Eggs, comes a bold novel of sacrifice and the tumultuous bonds of sisterhood, set in the gritty Tokyo of the 1990s.
Hana is fifteen years old, lives with her mother, has no money, and no security. Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hana’s dark world. Together they set up a bar. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves, friends to share her days with, and the glittering promise of money. She feels like a normal girl.
But in the narrow alleys of Sangenjaya, nothing is as it seems. Soon all of Hana’s hope, her optimism, and her drive will be pushed to the limit . . .
Sisters in Yellow is a story of enduring friendship, deep betrayal, and a masterpiece of teenage dreams and adult cruelties.
