In this “witty, perceptive novel”, a young woman moves to Tokyo and encounters the world of university enrollment and impending adulthood (Elle). Banana Yoshimoto’s novels of young life in Japan have made her an international sensation. Goodbye Tsugumi is an offbeat story of a deep and complicated friendship between two female cousins that ranks among her best work. Maria is the only daughter of an unmarried woman. She has grown up at the seaside alongside her cousin Tsugumi, a lifelong invalid, charismatic, spoiled, and occasionally cruel. Now Maria’s father is finally able to bring Maria and her mother to Tokyo, ushering Maria into a world of university, impending adulthood, and a “normal” family. When Tsugumi invites Maria to spend a last summer by the sea, a restful idyll becomes a time of dramatic growth as Tsugumi finds love and Maria learns the true meaning of home and family. She also has to confront both Tsugumi’s inner strength and the real possibility of losing her. Goodbye Tsugumi is a beguiling, resonant novel from one of the world’s finest young writers.

Maria e Tsugumi sono amiche fin dall'infanzia anche se sono due ragazzine molto diverse. Maria, l'io narrante, è dolce e buona: ha lasciato il piccolo paesino in cui era nata e cresciuta per iscriversi all'università a Tokio. Tsugumi è bellissima ma dotata di un carattere infernale: affabile e dolce con gli estranei, nel privato è un tiranno, parla come un maschio ed è viziata all'inverosimile. Non può spostarsi dalla tranquilla penisola di Izu perché le sue condizioni di salute non glielo permettono. Il suo destino pare segnato... Ma quando due amiche si ritrovano, e se questo accade d'estate, e se è il mare a cullare le rispettive solitudini, allora la magia scaturita dall'attimo può creare sensazionali cambiamenti del mondo reale..

A major literary sensation is back with a quietly stunning tour de force about the redemptive power of love. While The Lake shows off many of the features that have made Banana Yoshimoto famous—a cast of vivid and quirky characters, simple yet nuanced prose, a tight plot with an upbeat pace—it’s also one of the most darkly mysterious books she’s ever written. It tells the tale of a young woman who moves to Tokyo after the death of her mother, hoping to get over her grief and start a career as a graphic artist. She finds herself spending too much time staring out her window, though ... until she realizes she’s gotten used to seeing a young man across the street staring out his window, too. They eventually embark on a hesitant romance, until she learns that he has been the victim of some form of childhood trauma. Visiting two of his friends who live a monastic life beside a beautiful lake, she begins to piece together a series of clues that lead her to suspect his experience may have had something to do with a bizarre secret from his past. . . . With echoes of real life events, such as the Aum Shinrikyo cult (the group that released poison gas in the Tokyo subway system) and the kidnapping of Japanese citizens by North Korea, The Lake unfolds as the most powerful novel Banana Yoshimoto has written. And as the two young lovers overcome their troubled past to discover hope in the beautiful solitude of the lake in the countryside, it’s also one of her most moving.

"A beautiful translation . . . Yoshimoto deploys a magically Japanese light touch to emotionally and existentially tough subject matter: domestic disarray, loneliness, identity issues, lovesickness . . . [a] nimble narrative." ―ELLE In Moshi Moshi, Yoshie’s much–loved musician father has died in a suicide pact with an unknown woman. It is only when Yoshie and her mother move to Shimokitazawa, a traditional Tokyo neighborhood of narrow streets, quirky shops, and friendly residents that they can finally start to put their painful past behind them. However, despite their attempts to move forward, Yoshie is haunted by nightmares in which her father is looking for the phone he left behind on the day he died, or on which she is trying—unsuccessfully—to call him. Is her dead father trying to communicate a message to her through these dreams? With the lightness of touch and surreal detachment that are the hallmarks of her writing, Banana Yoshimoto turns a potential tragedy into a poignant coming–of–age ghost story and a life–affirming homage to the healing powers of community, food, and family.

Maria Shirakawa, la narradora de esta delicada historia, tiene que marcharse a Tokio a estudiar en la universidad. Deja atrás la pensión Yamamoto, un lugar idílico junto al mar en la península de Izu, donde ha crecido al lado de su madre. Y también a su amiga de la infancia, Tsugumi, la hija bellísima del matrimonio que regenta la pensión. Aunque los caracteres de Maria y Tsugumi son muy distintos, la dulce y pacífica Maria sabe que, tras la aparente afabilidad de Tsugumi con los extraños, su amiga es en la intimidad arisca y caprichosa, a veces incluso cruel y despótica con quienes la rodean, porque sufre por una dolorosa enfermedad crónica que la tiene sujeta a la península y a la pensión, y que tal vez sea la causa de su carácter. La amistad entre ambas ha superado ya muchas pruebas cuando Tsugumi invita a Maria a pasar un último verano junto al mar. Durante esas vacaciones, mientras ciertos incidentes amenazan con trastocar la vida de la pensión, Tsugumi encontrará el amor y Maria aprenderá el verdadero significado del hogar y la familia.
