‘Love demands expression. It will not stay still, ‘Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid’ - Jeanette Winterson.

Our nameless narrator’s husband has just announced Our nameless narrator’s husband has just announced he is leaving her. Adrift with a three-year-old daughter, she attempts to rebuild her life, but 1970s Japan is an unforgiving place for divorced women and shame, sadness and responsibility weigh heavily on her. Territory of Light by Yuko Tsushima is a strange little book; its quietly powerful, sparse language perfectly captures despair and isolation in the wake of separation.
