{"product_id":"strange-weather-in-tokyo-1","title":"Strange Weather in Tokyo (Paperback)","description":"Tsukiko is in her late 30s and living alone when one night she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, 'Sensei', in a bar. He is at least thirty years her senior, retired and, she presumes, a widower. After this initial encounter, the pair continue to meet occasionally to share food and drink sake, and as the seasons pass - from spring cherry blossom to autumnal mushrooms - Tsukiko and Sensei come to develop a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love. Perfectly constructed, funny, and moving, Strange Weather in Tokyo is a tale of modern Japan and old-fashioned romance. This edition contains the bonus story, 'Parade', which imagines an ordinary day in the lives of this unusual couple.","brand":"Hiromi Kawakami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46194786566322,"sku":"9781783785797","price":295.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781783785797_10d1733d-b821-4c67-9246-52c73ab6c660.jpg?v=1773816814","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/strange-weather-in-tokyo-1","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
