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. 541 $d 20231227. 648 7 $a 2011. 650 $a Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan, 2011 $v Fiction. 650 $a Telephone booths $v Fiction. 650 $a Grief $x Fiction. 650 $a Death $x Fiction. 651 $a Japan $x Fiction. 651 $a Japan $z Tohoku Region. 651 $a Japan. 655 7 $a Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. 700 $a Rand, Lucy, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20240305011322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3694B988DABE11EEBE8532184BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
