Discover the original and uplifting sensation for fans of CONVENIENCE STORE WOMAN and KLARA AND THE SUN

It's only when we slow down that we can truly experience joy ...

2035: In the shadow of a race-course, two sisters grow up, helping their mother at the local cafe that serves renowned ramen. Family life is fractious especially when one of them loses their day-job to an automaton.

When the sisters discover their beloved race-horse Today is being sent to the knacker's yard after a lifetime of over-racing, they are determined to rescue her.

To remind Today of happier times, they hatch a plan to let her run one last race. But it will be no ordinary event.

They will train her to run the slowest race of her life.

Narrated by a most unusual and unforgettable storyteller, A Thousand Blues is a powerful hymn to our humanity. Brimming with heart, hope and rage, it is a book to cherish, share and re-read.

'A stunningly crafted novel, evoking a myriad emotions' Kim Bo-young

Ce que les critiques en disent

[A] healing and heartfelt love story to the earth
The heartstring-tugging glimpses of a sad injured pony are cleverly layered with a multi-generational backstory about the various impacts of technological change on people’s lives. Lovely stuff.
Thoughtfully translated . . . and beautifully tracks the sacrifices made to save the racehorse Today.
A heartwarming and fascinating story
