Description
Lucid and earnest, Banana Yoshimoto's writing seizes hold of the reader's sympathy. In her debut novel, Kitchen, she tells an enchanting tale of two young women in contemporary Japan, exploring themes of love, tragedy, and the power of home.
The story follows Mikage, an orphan who finds comfort in a makeshift family formed with her friend Yoichi and his mother, Eriko. As they navigate their lives together, Yoshimoto weaves a tale that is both lovely and evocative, centered around the kitchen and the comforts of home.
