How Kyoto Breaks Your Heart Paperback / softback
by Florentyna Leow
Paperback / softback
Description
20-something and uncertain about her future, Florentyna Leow is exhilarated when an old acquaintance offers her an opportunity for work and cohabitation in a little house in the hills of Kyoto. Florentyna begins a new job as a tour guide, taking tourists on elaborate and expensive trips around Kyoto's cultural hotspots.
Amidst the busy tourist traps and overrun temples, Florentyna develops her own personal map of the city: a favourite smoky jazz kissa; a top-shelf katsuobushi loving cat; an elderly lady named Yamaguchi-san, who shares her sweets and gives Florentyna a Japanese name. Meanwhile, her relationship with her new companion develops an intensity as they live and work together.
Their little kitchen, the epicenter of their shared life, overlooks a community garden dominated by a fruitful persimmon tree.
Their relationship burns bright, but seasons change, the persimmon tree out back loses its fruit, and things grow strange between the two women.
