Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

Territory of Light is the radiant story of a young woman, living alone in Tokyo with her two-year-old daughter, in her first year of separation from her husband. At once tender and lacerating, luminous and unsettling, Territory of Light is a novel of abandonment, desire and transformation. It was originally published in twelve parts in the Japanese literary monthly Gunzo, between 1978 and 1979, each chapter marking the months in real time, and remains one of Yuko Tsushima's most beloved works.

'Wonderfully poetic . . . extraordinary freshness . . . a Virginia Woolf quality' Margaret Drabble

a story of losing and finding one's self

Territory of Light is an incredibly calming novel of a young mother in Japan learning to come to terms with life as a single parent. The author's description of the narrator processing the divorce was refreshing, as there was no specific blame pushed to either party, but instead a general consideration given to what both parties need instead of each other. The novel is incredibly descriptive, almost meditative and melodic, as the story follows the mother in search of a new flat, examining different sources of light, experiencing terror, anger, relief, sorrow, love... Reading the character's fight to regain her sense of self, control over her life, connect with society and find peace amidst the chaos is something many of us will be able to relate to. There is no word wasted in this novel, a story of experience through time and all senses. A slow, and soothing read.
