Territory Of Light

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Territory Of Light by Yuko Tsushima explores desire, isolation, abandonment and transformation.

What We Say: "From one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary authors, Territory Of Light is a story of loss and rebirth, following a young woman who starts a new life in a light-filled Tokyo apartment after her husband leaves her, and struggles to look after her two-year-old daughter alone" – Olivia McCrea-Hedley

What They Say: “Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity“ – Kris Kosaka, Japan Times
