Description
Summer in Tokyo brings heat and languid days. Claire spends her time between tutoring Mieko and daydreaming with her grandparents, who fled Korea decades ago to escape the civil war. Their past is marked by the opening of Shiny, a pachinko parlour that still draws people in with its bright lights and promises of good fortune. As Mieko and Claire grow closer, their bond deepens, and Mieko's determination to visit the pachinko parlour becomes more pressing. The parlour remains a vibrant presence on the streets above, its neon lights beckoning passersby. In this poignant story, Elisa Shua Dusapin explores themes of family, identity, and the power of shared experiences.
