Popis:

`Breathtaking` - Haruki Murakami author of Norwegian WoodA New York Times `Notable Book of 2020` and one of Elena Ferrante`s `Top 40 Books by Female Authors`On a hot summer´s day in a poor suburb of Tokyo we meet three women: thirty-year-old Natsuko, her older sister Makiko, and Makiko´s teenage daughter Midoriko. Makiko, an ageing hostess despairing the loss of her looks, has travelled to Tokyo in search of breast enhancement surgery. She`s accompanied by Midoriko, who has recently stopped speaking, finding herself unable to deal with her own changing body and her mother´s self-obsession. Her silence dominates Natsuko´s rundown apartment, providing a catalyst for each woman to grapple with their own anxieties and their relationships with one another.Eight years later, we meet Natsuko again. She is now a writer and find herself on a journey back to her native city, returning to memories of that summer and her family´s past as she faces her own uncertain future.In Breasts and Eggs Mieko Kawakami paints a radical and intimate portrait of contemporary working class womanhood in Japan, recounting the heartbreaking journeys of three women in a society where the odds are stacked against them. This is an unforgettable English language debut from a major new international talent.`Bold, modern and surprising` - An Yu, author of Braised Pork`Incredible and propulsive` - Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting TimesI can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami´s novella Breasts and Eggs . . . breathtaking . . .
