READ FOR BOOKERTHON

Nao, a 16-year-old from Tokyo writes a diary, which is discovered by a Canadian novelist, Ruth, washed up on shore some time after the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami.

❖ “Who would have thought a book which covers such myriad topics – from the Japanese tsunami to quantum mechanics to the everyone day realities of family life – could be so riveting. This is a unique story which delivers in every regard: characters, plot, style, meaning and emotion. Wow.” – Rachel
