SYNOPSIS
In this "witty, perceptive novel", a young woman moves to Tokyo and encounters the world of university enrollment and impending adulthood (Elle).
Banana Yoshimoto’s novels of young life in Japan have made her an international sensation. Goodbye Tsugumi is an offbeat story of a deep and complicated friendship between two female cousins that ranks among her best work. Maria is the only daughter of an unmarried woman. She has grown up at the seaside alongside her cousin Tsugumi, a lifelong invalid, charismatic, spoiled, and occasionally cruel. Now Maria’s father is finally able to bring Maria and her mother to Tokyo, ushering Maria into a world of university, impending adulthood, and a "normal" family. When Tsugumi invites Maria to spend a last summer by the sea, a restful idyll becomes a time of dramatic growth as Tsugumi finds love and Maria learns the true meaning of home and family. She also has to confront both Tsugumi’s inner strength and the real possibility of losing her. Goodbye Tsugumi is a beguiling, resonant novel from one of the world’s finest young writers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Banana Yoshimoto
Yoshimoto Mahoko nasceu em 1964, filha de Yoshimoto Takaaki, aka Ryumei, provavelmente o filósofo e crítico mais importante e influente, que emergiu nos anos 60.
Além de ter um pai famoso, a sua irmã, a cartoonista Haruno Yoiko, é também uma figura pública.
Yoshimoto cresceu numa família liberal, de esquerda e com significativamente mais liberdade que uma típica jovem japonesa. Ainda durante o liceu, Yoshimoto foi viver com o namorado.
Depois de terminar a licenciatura no departamento de Literatura, do Nihon University's Art College, Mahoko adopta, deliberadamente, o pseudónimo andrógino Banana e começa a escrever de forma convicta. Escreve os seus primeiros livros enquanto trabalha como empregada de balcão em Tóquio.
Uma das maiores influências na sua escrita, tanto em estilo como conteúdo, é o trabalho de Stephen King (particularmente nas histórias que não são de terror), do qual é admiradora. Mais tarde procurou inspiração também em Truman Capote e Isaac Bashevis Singer.
