Description
In this poignant collection, Florentyna Leow shares her experiences of heartbreak and self-discovery in Kyoto. After an old acquaintance offers her a chance to live and work together in a little house in the hills, Florentyna begins a new job as a tour guide, taking tourists on elaborate trips around the city's cultural hotspots. As she navigates the busy streets and temples of Kyoto, Florentyna develops a personal map of the city, filled with favourite haunts and encounters. Her relationship with her companion deepens, but like the changing seasons, things become increasingly complicated. The result is a powerful exploration of how heartbreak can fill a place and make it impossible to stay. This book is a moving and introspective account of one woman's journey through love, loss, and self-discovery in Japan.
