A powerfully tender portrait of a single mother in 1970s Tokyo.
'Wonderfully poetic ... extraordinary freshness ... a Virginia Woolf quality' Margaret Drabble
Territory of Light is the radiant story of a young woman, living alone in Tokyo with her two-year-old daughter. Its twelve chapters follow the first year of the narrator's separation from her husband. The novel is full of light, sometimes comforting and sometimes dangerous- sunlight streaming through windows, dappled light in the park, distant fireworks, dazzling floodwater, de-saturated streetlamps and mysterious explosions. The delicate prose is beautifully patterned- the cumulative effect is disarmingly powerful and bright after-images remain in your mind for a long time.
