Young Old Woman

About This Novel

Living alone since the age of 62. One person, one dog, and many potted plants travel back and forth between Tokyo and Kumamoto once a week, their aging bodies screaming. After sending away her parents and husband, the 62-year-old Ito left the United States with her puppy Kramer, returned to Japan, and started living alone as a "young old girl." What new stories will happen in a familiar yet unfamiliar homeland? Ito writes with sensitivity and candor about the physical and mental changes of a woman as she ages, as well as the freedom and loneliness of a person's life. In the constant separation, we face the desolation of life. "Now that I don't have a single family member around me, I'm really free."
