From the critically acclaimed author of BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick The Cat and The City, comes a love-letter to Japanese culture, landscape, and literature, in a beautifully crafted representation of love, life, and loneliness.

Four Seasons in Japan follows Flo, a despondent American translator, who’s translation work has dried up and her relationship has run its course, leaving Flo unsure of what to do next. Until she stumbles across a book left on the Tokyo subway. She begins translating the story, only to realize that she has much more in common with the book’s characters than she could have imagined. Taking a trip to Onomichi, the setting for this mysterious book, and apparent location for the book’s publisher, the world between text and translator slowly begin to converge…
