The Premonition

From the internationally bestselling author of Kitchen. "Polished, concise, emotionally rewarding." - Daily Mail. "Exquisite." - Marie Claire. "A timely invitation to explore her unusual, alluring world." - Daily Telegraph. "Casts a delicate spell." - Spectator. "Yoshimoto bucks beautifully against convention." - The New York Times Book Review. I had a premonition of setting out on a journey and getting lost inside a distant tide. It was the beginning of summer, and I was nineteen years old. Yayoi lives with her perfect, loving family - something like you'd see in a Spielberg movie. But while her parents tell happy stories of her childhood, she is increasingly haunted by the sense that she's forgotten something important about her past.
