WINNER OF THE AKUTAGAWA PRIZE

‘A hypnotic dissection of memory, trauma and belonging’

New Statesman

‘This attempt to imprint upon humanity the experiences of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in a way that only a novel can achieve deserves to be highly esteemed’

Yoko Ogawa, author of The Memory Police

‘Here we find a form of language that attempts to venture, dancing, into a past enveloped in silence’

Yoko Tawada, author of The Last Children of Tokyo

‘An eerie, shimmering fever dream . . . strange and beautiful’

Jenny Mustard, author of Okay Days

In the summer of 2020, as Germany slowly emerges from lockdown, a young Japanese woman studying in Gottingen waits at the train station to meet an old friend. Nomiya died a decade earlier in the Tohoku tsunami, but he has suddenly returned without any explanation.

The reunited friends share a past that’s a world away from the tranquillity of Go
