Description
'So amazing it took my breath away' Haruki Murakami, international bestselling author of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles
Breasts and Eggs follows the lives of three women: the 30-year-old unmarried narrator who is desperate to have a child, her older sister Makiko, an aging hostess who's obsessed with getting breast implants and her teenage daughter, Midoriko who refuses to communicate with her mother except through writing. With humour and compassion, Kawakami paints a portrait of womanhood in contemporary Japan, probing questions of motherhood, beauty norms and how time works on the female body.
Breast and Eggs is a thrilling English language debut novel from Japan's brightest young talent, Mieko Kawakami.
