Lonely Castle in the Mirror - Mizuki Tsujimura, Philip Gabriel
Mizuki Tsujimura, Philip Gabriel
For fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD, fairy tale and magic are weaved together in sparse language that belies a flooring emotional punch.
Translated by Philip Gabriel, a translator of Murakami
How can you save your friend's life if she doesn't want to be rescued?
In a tranquil neighbourhood of Tokyo, seven teenagers wake to find their bedroom mirrors are shining.
At a single touch, they are pulled from their lonely lives to a wondrous castle filled with winding stairways, watchful portraits and twinkling chandeliers. In this new sanctuary, they are confronted with a set of clues leading to a hidden room where one of them will be granted a wish. But there's a catch- if they don't leave the castle by five o'clock, they will be punished.
As time passes, a devastating truth emerges- only those brave enough to share their stories will be saved.
