(*)(Translated by Chikako Kobayashi) (★)(江国香織[1964-], Titulo original : 神様のボート [Kamisama no boto, 1999], Yoko teaches piano during the day, works at a bar at night and dreams of her disappeared lover every minute. Her ten-year-old daughter Soko, born out of this brief passionate affair that has marked Yoko for ever, lives around her mother´s constant yearning, as Yoko´s desperate search for the elusive man of her dreams means moving house more times than either of them can remember. The two travel through life on what Yoko calls ´God´s boat,´ in a journey through the rituals of everyday life, while beyond them lie the madness of love and the raw grief of loss. ◆Kaori Ekuni is a fiction writer and 2004 winner of the prestigious Naoki Prize for literature.
