Description
In a not-too-distant future, Japan has vanished from the face of the earth, leaving behind only memories of its culinary delights.
Hiruko, a climate refugee herself, teaches immigrant children in Denmark using her invented language Panska, which she created to cope with her experiences in three countries. As she searches for anyone who can still speak her mother tongue, Hiruko forms new friendships and embarks on a journey that takes her to France, where she encounters an umami cooking competition, a dead whale, and more.
This mesmerizing novel is the first installment of a trilogy, blending elements of fantasy and realism in a unique and captivating way. With its vivid scenes and intrepid band of companions, it's a worthwhile read for anyone looking to explore the boundaries of language and identity.
