My Year of Meat by Ruth L Ozeki

My Year of Meat by Ruth L Ozeki

From small-town America to the claustrophobia of the Japanese corporate lifestyle, this novel tells the story of a parallel year in the lives of two women at the opposite ends of the world, brought together in a strange convergence of global politics, meat, TV and personal crisis.
