“The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World”

March 11, 2021 ~ The Longest Chapter ~ 2 Comments

Laura Imai Messina’s engaging new novel tells the story of Japan's 2011 tsunami survivors and others who talk to their dead loved ones on a disconnected phone. Inspired by true events. Unusual and not to be missed.
