From Mieko Kawakami, 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.
“I can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami.” —Haruki Murakami
“To read her work is to feel that she is not afraid of anything at all.” —TheNew York Times Book Review
Hana has nothing – she’s fifteen years old and living 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 Hana’s 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 Hana’s hope, her optimism, and her drive will be pushed to the limit . . .
A story of enduring friendship and deep betrayal, Sisters in Yellow is a masterpiece ofteenage dreams and adult cruelties that confirms Mieko Kawakami as one of the great writers of her generation.
