When Yui loses her mother and daughter in the tsunami, she wonders how she will ever carry on and begins to mark time in relation to that terrible day in 2011. Yet, in the face of this unthinkable loss, her life must somehow continue. One day at work as the host of a call-in radio program, Yui hears a story about a man on Whale Mountain - one of the places worst hit by the tsunami - who has an old telephone booth with a disconnected phone in his garden. As news of the phone booth and its "Wind Phone" spreads, people start coming from miles around to speak to loved ones, finding comfort in sharing the details of their daily lives with those they have lost. Inspired by true events, Laura Imai Messina's international bestselling novel The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World is an unforgettable story about the depths of grief, the lightness of love, and the human desire to keep those no longer with us close to our hearts. - from Publisher.
