{"product_id":"9781915628008","title":"How Kyoto Breaks Your Heart by Florentyna Leow","description":"20-something and uncertain about her future, Florentyna Leow is exhilarated when an old acquaintance offers her an opportunity for work and cohabitation in a little house in the hills of Kyoto.   Florentyna begins a new job as a tour guide, taking tourists on elaborate and expensive trips around Kyoto's cultural hotspots. Amidst the busy tourist traps and overrun temples, Florentyna develops her own personal map of the city: a favourite smoky jazz kissa; a top-shelf katsuobushi loving cat; an elderly lady named Yamaguchi-san, who shares her sweets and gives Florentyna a Japanese name.   Meanwhile, her relationship with her new companion develops an intensity as they live and work together. Their little kitchen, the epicenter of their shared life, overlooks a community garden dominated by a fruitful persimmon tree. Their relationship burns bright, but seasons change, the persimmon tree out back loses its fruit, and things grow strange between the two women.; 152 pages; 23\/02\/2023\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781915628008\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Emma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56451909484926,"sku":"9781915628008","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781915628008.jpg?v=1761273050","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781915628008","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
