Flo is sick of Tokyo.
Suffering from a crisis in confidence, she is stuck in a rut, her translation work has dried up and she's in a relationship that's run its course.
That's until she stumbles upon a mysterious book left by a fellow passenger on the Tokyo Subway.
From the very first page, Flo is transformed and immediately feels compelled to translate this forgotten novel, a decision which sets her on a path that will change her life.
As Flo follows the characters across a year in rural Japan, through the ups and downs of the pair's burgeoning relationship, she quickly realises that she needs to venture outside the pages of the book to track down its elusive author.
And, as the two protagonists reveal themselves to have more in common with her life than first meets the eye, the lines between text and translator converge, and it soon becomes clear that Flo's journey is just beginning...

Four Seasons of me, trying not to cry
First of all, I need a minute to get my thoughts in order. Quite the heavy read, this one. Having recently finished ''The Cat and The City'', I knew I had to read this one as well. This reflective story within a story contains beautifully formed characters and their struggles of finding purpose in life. Also, we don't need to talk about Bradley's fantastic style of writing. Kind of self explanatory. The setting was absolutely beautiful (could I be saying 'beautiful' more often?!) and I'm still contemplating, which season I'd like to witness. Probably the Hanami season I guess. Anyway, please read this book. It's a complex novel that stays with you long after you've finished. If not for me, do it for the cat.
