Über diesen Titel
“I can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami.” —Haruki Murakami
Hana has nothing – she’s fifteen years old and living in a tiny apartment in a suburb of Tokyo with her young mother, a hostess at a local dive bar. They have no money, no security. Then Kimiko appears.
Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hana’s dark world. Together they set up Lemon, a bar that, despite its shabby setting and seedy clientele, becomes a haven for Hana. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves, friends to share her days with, and the glittering promise of money. She feels like a normal girl. She feels invincible.
But in the narrow alleys of Sangenjaya, nothing is as it seems. Soon all of Hana’s hope, her optimism, and her drive will be pushed to the limit . . .
A story of enduring friendship and deep betrayal, Sisters in Yellow is a masterpiece of teenage dreams and adult cruelties that confirms Mieko Kawakami as one of the great writers of her generation.
Kritikerstimmen
Praise for Sisters in Yellow
"Kawakami unfurls a remarkable noir-tinged tale of female desperation. . . . As the story hurtles toward chilling revelations in the present, Kawakami masterfully builds tension. . . . The author scales new heights with this gripping and propulsive novel."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An intimate and striking novel of poverty and loneliness."
—Book Riot
"Kawakami’s novel is about the painful realities of a rapidly-modernizing world, the difficulty of creating community on the fringes, and the ways we struggle to care for each other and ourselves. . . . In Mieko Kawakami’s hands this is . . . a masterpiece."
—Lit Hub
"A pacy story of friendship, longing, and betrayal."
—Electric Lit
"Kawakami pairs the churn of Hana’s obsessive worries and fears with the ruthlessness of Tokyo's underworld in exacting and galvanizing detail, exposing the misogynist injustice and violence women face and the unbridgeable divide between rich and poor. Every scene in this incisive, relentless tale of survival and the stunting of lives is mesmerizing in its intensity."
—Booklist
Praise for Mieko Kawakami
"I can never forget the sense of pure astonishment I felt when I first read Mieko Kawakami. . . . [She] is always ceaselessly growing and evolving."
—Haruki Murakami, author of Norwegian Wood
"Kawakami has good instincts for creating an air of suspense, although that's not what sets her novels apart. It's her ability to make the mere passing of time, choosing to step outside and be alive, seem like an event."
—The Atlantic
"Kawakami's prose is supple and casual, unbothered with the kinds of sentences routinely described as 'luminous.' But into these stretches of plain speech she regularly drops phrases that made me giddy with pleasure."
—Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies
"To read her work is to feel that she is not afraid of anything at all."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Mieko Kawakami is a genius."
—Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times
“By highlighting the inner lives of outsiders, Kawakami’s work takes aim at the social structures of class and gender.”
—Financial Times
“A contemporary Japanese master.”
—Oprah Daily
