Description - Four Seasons in Japan by Nick Bradley
A gorgeously crafted book within a book about literature, purpose and what it is to belong by the much-loved author of The Cat and The City.
A heartwarming and profound novel about the power of books and connection between generations, that is also a love letter to Japan and its literature.
'Every book worm would love this.' Glamour
'An emotionally engaging story ... there's something here for everyone.' The Times
Flo is sick of Tokyo.
Suffering from a crisis in confidence, she is stuck in a rut, her translation work has dried up and she's in a relationship that's run its course.
That's until she stumbles upon a mysterious book left by a fellow passenger on the Tokyo Subway.
From the very first page, Flo is transformed and immediately feels compelled to translate this forgotten novel, a decision which sets her on a path that will change her life.
As Flo follows the characters across a year in rural Japan, through the ups and downs of the pair's burgeoning relationship, she quickly realises that she needs to venture outside the pages of the book to track down its elusive author.
And, as the two protagonists reveal themselves to have more in common with her life than first meets the eye, the lines between text and translator converge, and it soon becomes clear that Flo's journey is just beginning...
