Summary, Etc. "I can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami." --Haruki Murakami. From Miejo Kawakami, the award-winning author of Breasts and Eggs, comes a literary event, a bold novel about sacrifice and the tumultuous bonds of sisterhood set in the gritty Tokyo of the 1990s. Hana has nothing - she's fifteen years old and living in a tiny apartment in a suburb of Tokyo with her young mother, a hostess at a local dive bar. They have no money, no security. Then Kimiko appears. Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hana's dark world. Together they set up Lemon, a bar that, despite its shabby setting and seedy clientele, becomes a haven for Hana. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves, friends to share her days with, and the glittering promise of money. She feels like a normal girl. She feels invincible. But in the narrow alleys of Sangenjaya, nothing is as it seems. Soon all of Hana's hope, her optimism, and her drive will be pushed to the limit . . . A story of enduring friendship and deep betrayal, Sisters in Yellow is a masterpiece of teenage dreams and adult cruelties that confirms Mieko Kawakami as one of the great writers of her generation. -- Page 2 of cover.
