Seven Days in Tokyo
£9.99
Two perfect strangers. One second chance
’Profound’ Iqbal Hussain, author of Northern Boy
Two strangers meet in Manhattan and spend a perfect night together. One of them, Landon, lives in Tokyo as a British expat. When Landon returns home, Louie comes to visit and the pair have seven days to see if that one night may mean something more.
They spend their precious time together wandering along side streets and into coffee shops, sharing unmade beds and plates of food. But as the days tick by, Louie’s expectations start to overtake reality and he falls too deeply for a life that’s not yet his.
Breathtakingly tender, Seven Days in Tokyo is an astonishing debut about the intricacies of desire and a search for belonging. It is a lyrical, immersive portrait of how some things, however beautiful and profound, are destined to be as short-lived as the cherry blossoms.
