The Forest of Wool and Steel
Bestselling winner of the 2016 Japan Booksellers Award, selected by bookshop staff as the book they most wanted to hand-sell: A tender and uplifting novel for fans of A WHOLE LIFE and THE TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES. Tomura is startled at the hypnotic sound of a piano being tuned in his school. It seeps into his soul and reminds him of the forests, both dark and gleaming, that surround his mountain village. From that moment, he becomes determined to discover more. Set in a small town in Hokkaido, and roaming between the piano store and the homes of the clients whose pianos he tunes, this is a story of a man finding his way through the forest of life, a path he navigates with humility and wit. Exploring solidity, friendship and the universal quest for truth, it shows how acts of compassion and acceptance will take us where we most want to go.
