The Refugees' Daughter

By: Ichikawa, Takuji

In a society rife with conflict and a world on the edge of extinction, who should we turn to for answers: society's strongest or weakest? This is the question Takuji Ichikawa, one of Japan's most imaginative and unusual authors, poses in The Refugees' Daughter, a magical modern parable for our troubled times.

Through this terrifying and dreamlike dystopia, a young girl is amongst those fleeing their homes and seeking safety.

From Ichikawa, a Japanese author whose books sell in the millions, comes a thought provoking piece which addresses themes of humanity, responsibility and the need to have a place to call home.

Exploring power, patriarchy, strength and freedom, this vision of a frighteningly familiar world asks vital questions.

Translated by Emily Balistrieri, The Refugees' Daughter is a powerful, poignant and utterly relevant tale that will resound in the minds of everyone who has ever searched for hope.
