'Yoshimoto bucks beautifully against convention.' THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOKS 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.

THE PREMONITION was first published in 1988 in Japan, the year Banana Yoshimoto made her debut. That year she published four novels and all became bestsellers in Japan including (and most famously) the international bestseller KITCHEN. She has published ten books in English translation, including GOODBYE TSUGUMI, ASLEEP, MOSHI MOSHI, and, most recently, DEAD-END MEMORIES. Her work has been translated and published in more than thirty countries. In Italy, she won the Scanno Literary Prize in 1993, the Fendissime Literary Prize in 1996, the Maschera d'Argento Prize in 1999, and the Capri Award in 2011. She lives in Tokyo.
