Book
Territory of light / Yuko Tsushima ; translated from the Japanese by Geraldine Harcourt.
A young woman, left by her husband, starts a new life in a Tokyo apartment. Over the course of a year, as she struggles to bring up her two-year-old daughter alone, her new home is filled with light streaming through the windows, so bright she has to squint, but she finds herself plummeting deeper into darkness, becoming unstable, untethered. With the turning of the seasons, she must confront what she has lost and what she will become.
