Growing up without a father, Hana’s tired of the pity in her classmates’ eyes, and finds a flashier mother figure in Kimiko. Kimiko is older than Hana's mother but seems much younger, chatting easily about school and boys and wanting a better life. Fate throws them together with two more young women—bruised but not broken by life. Together the four set out to remake their lives, fighting predatory lenders, organized criminals, and plain bad luck as they open a bar called Lemon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeeping the business going, and trying to take care of each other, forms the core of this enrapturing novel. It is a story of startling reversals and vivid portraits of the matriarchy of Tokyo nightlife and its adjacent criminal underclasses. From the bar owners to the aging hostesses to the young street touts coaxing people off the street to places like Lemon, everyone wants a chance at renewal, but can everyone get it?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNarrated by Hana in Kawakami’s trademark evocatively poetic style and paced like a noir, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSisters in Yellow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e will be the literary blockbuster of the season. This epic of friendship and betrayal is the kind of book one longs to return to when away from a world until itself, and a book that makes you think while it produces immensities of feeling. It is a major novel that, like so many of the best recent phenomena—from Donna Tartt to Hanya Yanigahara—explores how we survive (or don't) together.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Then \u0026 Now Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54024074723638,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/8714\/8342\/files\/ibg.common.titledetail-4.gif?v=1778711537","url":"https:\/\/thenandnowbookshop.com\/products\/sisters-in-yellow-uk-edition","provider":"Then \u0026 Now Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
