Lonely Castle in the Mirror
Mizuki Tsujimura, Philip Gabriel (translation)° Winner of the Japan Booksellers Award voted for by the booksellers across Japan
° CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN with a fantasy twist, exploring mental health & anxiety issues in modern-day Japan.
Seven students are avoiding going to school, hiding in their darkened bedrooms, unable to face their family & friends, until the moment they discover a portal into another world that offers temporary escape from their stressful lives. Passing through a glowing mirror, they gather in a magnifcent castle which becomes their playground & refuge during school hours.
The students are tasked with locating a key, hidden somewhere in the castle, that will allow whoever finds it to be granted one wish. At this moment, the castle will vanish, along with all memories they may have of their adventure. If they fail to leave the castle by 5 pm every afternoon, they will be eaten by the keeper of the castle, an easily provoked & shrill creature named the Wolf Queen.
Delving into their emotional lives with sympathy & a generous warmth, LONELY CASTLE shows the unexpected rewards of reaching out to others. Exploring vivid human stories with a twisty & puzzle-like plot, this heart-warming novel is full of joy & hope for anyone touched by sadness & vulnerability.
