Strange and beautiful. Imagine the offspring of The Wind-up Bird Chronicle with The Virgin Suicides
GUARDIAN
A moving, reflective and surprising novel... anyone who has ever struggled with feeling isolated, had difficulties at school, or had mental health struggles, will find this novel to be a cleansing balm.
CULTUREFLY
Neat twists and a genuinely affecting denouement: this is 'a modern, all-ages fairy tale' that defies the Anglo-dominance of this genre
FINANCIAL TIMES
There's a warmth to her writing, and Tsujimura has a mature ability to allow the story to speak for itself without narrative
