Sisters in Yellow (Mieko Kawakami)

Recently there’s been a wave of feminist fiction from Asia- especially Japan and Korea, and it’s superb!

This is the latest novel from the author of the best-selling Breasts and Eggs. It follows a young girl and her descent into Tokyo nightlife and bar culture but as with all Japanese fiction included so many cultural details the world springs from the page and enthralls you from the first chapter.
