Fish of the Seto Inland Sea by Ruri Pilgrim
An extraordinary portrait of one family across the years of Japans greatest changes; a loving, honest, moving biography of the authors mother.‘An immaculately articulated evaluation of deep-seated instincts and habits, under pressure from within as well as without…Uncommonly accomplished.’ The Independent
‘Its warmth and humour depict a private Japan that is both attractive and immediately recognisable… . The accumulation of such intimate glimpses makes this book so worthwhile and such a pleasure to read.’ Literary Review
‘The social codes and nuances are very like those of another island nation – Britain. In its emotional honesty lies the book's great appeal.’ Daily Telegraph
