Be With You

In a society rife with conflict and a world on the edge of extinction, who should we turn to for answers: society's strongest or weakest? This is the question Takuji Ichikawa, one of Japan's most imaginative and unusual authors, poses in The Refugees' Daughter, a magical modern parable for our troubled times. Through this terrifying and dreamlike dystopia, a young girl is amongst those fleeing their homes and seeking safety. From Ichikawa, a Japanese author whose books sell in the millions, comes a thought provoking piece which addresses themes of humanity, responsibility and the need to have a place to call home. Exploring power, patriarchy, strength and freedom, this vision of a frighteningly familiar world asks vital questions. Translated by Emily Balistrieri, The Refugees' Daughter is a powerful, poignant and utterly relevant tale that will resound in the minds of everyone who has ever searched for hope. Red Circle Minis: Original, Short and Compelling Reads The Refugees' Daughter is part of Red Circle Minis, a series of short captivating books by Japan's finest contemporary writers that brings the narratives and voices of Japan together as never before. Each book is a first edition written specifically for the series and is being published in English first.

The Refugees' Daughter

Satoshi, bientôt trentenaire, est propriétaire d’une boutique de plantes aquatiques. Il peine à trouver le grand amour et reste hanté par le souvenir de ses deux amis d’enfance qu’il n’a pas revus depuis quinze ans. Un jour, une actrice et mannequin reconnue sonne à la porte : elle cherche un petit boulot et un toit pour la nuit. Satoshi est troublé : pourquoi cette jeune femme s’intéresse-t-elle à lui ? Et pourquoi ne la voit-il jamais dormir ? Quels secrets la belle peut-elle bien cacher ? Avec Takuji Ichikawa, les souvenirs remontent à la surface et viennent bouleverser le quotidien. Il dépeint des histoires d’amour et d’amitié avec humour et délicatesse dans ce roman poétique et plein de fantaisie.
