'Absolutely breathtaking' Christy Lefteri, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo.
We all have something to tell those we have lost . . .
On a windy hill in Japan, in a garden overlooking the sea stands a disused phone box. For years, people have travelled to visit the phone box, to pick up the receiver and speak into the wind: to pass their messages to loved ones no longer with us.
When Yui loses her mother and daughter in the tsunami, she is plunged into despair and wonders how she will ever carry on. One day she hears of the phone box, and decides to make her own pilgrimage there, to speak once more to the people she loved the most. But when you have lost everything, the right words can be the hardest thing to find . . .
Then she meets Takeshi, a bereaved husband whose own daughter has stopped talking in the wake of their loss. What happens next will warm your heart, even when it feels as though it is breaking...
The Phone Box at the Edge of the World is an unforgettable story of the depths of grief, the lightness of love and the human longing to keep the people who are no longer with us close to our hearts.

A place for the beloved ones
This is a heartwarming and hopeful story. It shows that even when you lose everything that matters to you, life will always find new ways and bring beautiful new people into your life, making it worth living. I also find the setting of the phone box very interesting and how death and the loss of loved ones play such an important role for this place. I've never heard befor of phoens of the wind, but how it seems, there are many of them in several places to find. I like the idea and the meaning of it. It's also really fascinating to read how everyone has their own way of living with the void left behind by those they have lost.
