The winner of the British Novel Prize for mastery of literary form. A mother and daughter come from abroad to meet in Tokyo: they walk along the canals on autumn evenings, seek shelter from typhoon rains, have lunch together in small cafes and restaurants, and visit galleries. Throughout this time, they talk about the weather, horoscopes, clothing and objects, about family, distance, and memory. But what is the true reason for this journey? Jessica Au's novella is a contemplative meditation, an elegy, and a search for answers to old questions. How can love be measured, and can we truly understand another person's inner world? 'Such a calm, yet ruthlessly precise focus, as Au has, would be difficult to maintain in a longer book, and this novella turned out to be very elegant and subtle. Au seems to be telling us: just as a storyteller meticulously adjusts their 'Nikon', so do we choose what to focus our attention on.' - The Guardian
