He is at least thirty years her senior, retired and, she presumes, a widower.After this initial encounter, the pair continue to meet occasionally to share food and drink sake, and as the seasons pass - from spring cherry blossom to autumnal mushrooms - Tsukiko and Sensei come to develop a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love.Strange Weather in Tokyo is perfectly constructed, warmly funny and deeply moving.This edition contains the bonus story, Parade, which imagines an ordinary day in the lives of this unusual couple.A dream-like spell of a novel, full of humour, sadness, warmth and tremendous subtlety.
