Beautiful Distance — Nao Cola Yamazaki

Before the hospital we had often raised our hands towards each other as we d gone through life together A man sits in a cafe sipping a green juice and watching the world go by A white butterfly flutters through the air a calico cat jumps onto a wall cherry blossom petals fall softly to the ground Life momentarily stands still Our unnamed narrator is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital A prize winning bestseller in Japan Beautiful Distance is a profoundly affecting and intimate story that looks with honesty and tenderness at the journey towards the end of a life It explores what family means how we think about death and the power of quiet acts of love Tanıtım Bülteninden
