Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

Sentaro makes dorayaki without caring about them, working off a debt in a small shop. An old woman with damaged hands asks for a job and says her bean paste is worth tasting.

It is, and business improves — until customers learn why her hands are the way they are. The novel turns from a gentle food story into an account of leprosy patients segregated by Japanese law for most of a century.

An international bestseller, and the basis of Naomi Kawase's film. Gentle on the surface, quietly furious underneath.
