A dazzling debut. Magic-realism blends with Japanese myth and
legend in an original story about grief, memory, time and an
earthquake that shook a nation. There's a catfish under the islands
of Japan and when it rolls the land rises and falls. Sora hates the
catfish whose rolling caused an earthquake so powerful it cracked
time itself. It destroyed her home and took her mother. Now Sora
and her scientist father live close to the zones - the wild and
abandoned places where time runs faster or slower than normal. Sora
is sensitive to the shifts, and her father recruits her help in
exploring these liminal spaces. But it's dangerous there - and as
she strays further inside in search of her mother, she finds that
time distorts, memories fracture and shadows, a glimmer of things
not entirely human, linger. After Sora's father goes missing, she
has no choice but to venture into uncharted spaces within the time
zones to find him, her mother and perhaps even the catfish
itself... Stylish, accomplished and thought-provoking story-telling
explores themes of identity, philosophy, science, ecology, life,
loss and love. For 14+
