About this book
After the death of the grandmother who raised her, Mikage finds unexpected shelter in the home of a kind young man and his unconventional family in contemporary Tokyo. Kitchens, late-night meals, and small rituals become places where grief can be held without being explained away. In the companion novella included in most English editions, another young woman faces loss and encounters a faintly supernatural consolation. Yoshimoto writes with clarity and tenderness, allowing everyday realism to brush against the uncanny. Short, quietly hopeful, and emotionally observant, Kitchen is about mourning, chosen family, and starting again.
