When Yui loses both her mother and daughter in the tsunami, she begins to mark the passage of time from that date onward: the day grief took hold of her life. Struggling to move on, she hears about a man who has an old disused telephone booth in his garden. There, those who have lost loved ones find the strength to speak to them and begin to come to terms with their grief . . .
Inspired by true events and a real telephone booth in Japan with its disconnected 'wind' phone, Laura Imai Messina's internationally bestselling novel The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World is a moving, unforgettable story about the depths of grief, the lightness of love, and the human longing to keep people who are no longer with us close to our hearts.
“Spare and poetic, this beautiful book is both a small, quiet love story and a vast, expansive meditation on grieving and loss.” -- Heat
