From the beloved, bestselling author of Kitchen - five effortlessly beautiful, strange and melancholy stories of heartbreak, hope and trying to see beauty in the everyday.
There was no past, no future, no words, nothing - just the light and the yellow and the scent of dry leaves in the sun.
Japan's internationally celebrated storyteller returns with five stories of healing and hope. Effortlessly beautiful, nostalgic and melancholy, the stories in Dead-End Memories explore the experiences of five women who, following sudden and painful events, find solace in the blissful moments of everyday life.
The daughter of a restaurant owner experiences a budding romance, accompanied by the ghosts of an elderly couple. After a scandalous near-death experience, an editor gains a new lease of life. A woman seeks refuge in the apartment above her uncle's bar after being betrayed by her fiancé. As Yoshimoto's gentle, effortless prose reminds us, one true miracle can be as simple as having someone to share a meal with, and happiness is always within us if only we take a moment to see it.
