The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina

The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina

On a hill in Ōtsuchi there is a white phone box in a garden with a disconnected rotary telephone in it. After the 2011 tsunami, thousands of people travelled there to speak to the people they lost. It is real, and it is called the Wind Phone.

Yui lost her mother and her three-year-old daughter to the wave, and cannot make herself pick up the receiver. She keeps going anyway, and keeps meeting Takeshi, whose small daughter stopped speaking when her mother died. Messina writes the grief carefully and interleaves the chapters with tiny lists — what was in a bag, what someone said.

An international bestseller, based on a real place. Gentle, and completely devastating.
