Description

Tsukiko's life takes an unexpected turn when she runs into one of her former teachers at a Tokyo bar. Their chance encounter blossoms into a tentative friendship, marked by shared meals and sake, as the seasons change around them. As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, Tsukiko and her teacher find themselves on an awkwardly poignant path to love. This beautifully crafted novel explores modern Japan through the lens of old-fashioned romance. With its perfect balance of humor and poignancy, Strange Weather in Tokyo is a moving tale that will resonate with readers. The edition includes a bonus story, 'Parade', which offers a glimpse into the daily life of this unusual couple.
