A PALE VIEW OF HILLS
Etsuko, a Japanese woman, now lives alone in England and is forced to process the recent suicide of her daughter. Retreating into the past, she finds herself reliving one particular hot summer in Nagasaki, when she and her friends struggled to rebuild their lives after the war. But as she recalls her strange friendship with Sachiko – a wealthy woman reduced to vagrancy – the memories start to take on a disturbing cast.

‘One of the outstanding fictional debuts of recent years.’ Observer

‘An extraordinarily fine first novel … its themes are deceptively large and uncommonly haunting.’ Los Angeles Times
