Description
In Ueno Park, Tokyo, two women's lives intersect in unexpected ways. For Dinah, who has come to Japan from New Zealand to teach English and grieve her brother's death, the city is a place of painful memories and longing. Meanwhile, Yasuko navigates the world with a unique sensitivity, having grown up with the ability to hear animals speak. As they form an unlikely friendship, each woman helps the other to see a different possible world, one that exists alongside their internal lives. Anna Smaill's lyrical and ambitious novel explores the tension between our external and internal experiences, asking what we lose by having to choose between them.
