DESCRIPTION :

From the International Booker Prize-Shortlisted author of Heaven and Breasts and Eggs

Hana has nothing but shes hopeful. Shes fifteen years old. She lives in a tiny apartment in a suburb of Tokyo with her young mother, a hostess at a local dive bar. They have no money, no security. Then Kimiko appears.

Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hanas dark world. Together they set up Lemon, a bar that, despite its shabby setting and seedy clientele, becomes a haven for Hana. 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. She feels invincible.

But in the narrow alleys of Sangenjaya, nothing is as it seems. Soon all of Hanas hope, her optimism, and her drive, will be tested to the limit . . .

Twenty years later, Kimiko is on trial. Now Hana must wrestle with her own actions, and face their devastating consequences.

A story of enduring friendship and deep betrayal, Sisters in Yellow is a masterpiece of teenage dreams and adult cruelties that confirms Mieko Kawakami as one of the great writers of her generation.
