An astonishing and moving novella about a misunderstood young girl,
from the author of The Woman in the Purple Skirt - part of
Pushkin's second Japanese Novella series Other people don't seem to
understand Amiko. Whether eating curry rice with her hands at
school or peeking through the sliding doors at her mother's
calligraphy class, her curious, exuberant nature often results in
confusion. When her mother falls into a depression and her brother
begins spending all his time with a motorcycle gang, Amiko is left
increasingly alone to navigate a world where she doesn't quite fit.
Subtle and moving, This is Amiko is a tender portrait of childhood
through the eyes of a unique, irrepressible young girl.

Slimani The Woman in the Purple Skirt is being watched. Someone is
following her, always perched just out of sight, monitoring which
buses she takes; what she eats; whom she speaks to. But this
invisible observer isn't a stalker - it's much more complicated
than that.
