About this deal

The unconventional story of three young women bewitched into a mysterious and spiritual sleepwalking, sleeplessness, and haunted sleep triggered by the death of a loved one. The stories revolve around dead lovers, unrequited love, or unfaithful affairs.

Most of her novels present an independent woman as a protagonist who overcomes the tragedies and traumas of life. Many scenes from the novel depict Banana’s exceptional skill of sowing hope into the readers’ minds despite their circumstances. The true spirit of Yoshihiro in his son, the tender sweep of Haru’s beautiful hair, and the ghost of Shiori on the swings urging the mortals never to lose hope during the dark phases of life. The Life of a Banana tells the story of Xing Li, a British born Chinese girl. The story begins with the tragic death of her mother, meaning Xing and her brother are forced to live with their super rich and super strict grandmother. They've never had much of a relationship with her and they're dreading going to live with her and their aunt and uncle.When she published her first novel Moonlight Shadow she was a student at Nihon University Art College and was waitressing at a country club. The novel was a hit and she received the Izumi Kyoka Prize from her university. She has also won the Umitsubame First Novel Prize and the 16th Izumi Kyoka Literary Prize. Touching, funny and thought provoking all at once. A brilliant first novel by PP Wong, the narrative is fast paced and witty and written from the perspective of a young British Chinese girl, captures her 'growing up' well in the midst of cultural confusion and bullying. The plot is engaging and the characters memorable.

Sometimes funny, sometimes dark, this story shines a light on the British-Chinese experience in a way that no books have before. It's not flawless by any means but I think it is a really significant novel because of the story it tells and the characters it presents. So you get the idea, lots of info about something most of us never gave, well, a fig about. It is a fun read and you will find yourself saying (or thinking, if you don’t want to make the person next to you on the subway slowly edge away) “I did not know that.” Given that there are existential threats abroad to the common banana, and that we are not yet ready with a cross-bred version that is resistant to those threats, we should probably do what we can to appreciate the banana before it…um…splits. Unable to adjust to life’s hardships, she moves to Tokyo with determination to overcome her grief and start a new journey. The Lake is brimming with eloquent imagery and plain emotion that sets a fast pace for the novel.Banana has unparalleled skill in transforming ordinary scenes into magical moments. This book works as a healer to those who have lost their dear ones to death. A powerful combination of loss, death, love, and hope, this novel is a poetic delve.
