Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:After losing her beautiful younger sister, a celebrated actress, to suicide, Sakumi falls down a flight of stairs and loses her memory to a head injury. Struggling to remember whom she loves and what she lost, she embarks on a unique emotional journey, accompanied at times by her dead sister's lover, at others by her clairvoyant kid brother. This is the story of Sakumi's remarkable expedition through grief, dreams, and shadows to a place of transformation and the discovery of a soul. Review:Frank RamirezChicago TribuneBanana Yoshimoto is a master storyteller...The sensuality is subtle, masked, and extraordinarily powerful. The language is deceptively simple. Review:Janice P. NimuraSan Francisco ChronicleEntering Banana Yoshimoto's fictional world is a little like living as an expatriate in Tokyo — everyday things are disconcertingly different. The exotic lurks around every corner...What sets Yoshimoto apart, though, is her blunt candor, a sense of truth, no matter how odd or awkward, is more important than polish...Amrita is difficult to forget. Review:Boston GlobeYoshimoto shouldn't be shy about basking in her celebrity. Her achievements are already legend. About the AuthorBanana Yoshimoto was born in 1964. Her bestselling first book, Kitchen, has sold millions of copies worldwide. It was followed by N.P., a novel, and Lizard, her first collection of short stories.
