A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING - RUTH OZEKI KARTONIE...

A brilliant  unforgettable novel from bestselling author Ruth Ozeki-shortlisted for the Booker
Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award A time being is someone who lives in time  and
that means you  and me  and every one of us who is  or was  or ever will be. In Tokyo 
sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there's only one escape from her aching loneliness and her
classmates' bullying. But before she ends it all  Nao first plans to document the life of her
great grandmother  a Buddhist nun who's lived more than a century. A diary is Nao's only
solace-and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine. Across the Pacific  we meet Ruth
a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a
Hello Kitty lunchbox-possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its
contents unfolds  Ruth is pulled into the past  into Nao's drama and her unknown fate  and
forward into her own future. Full of Ozeki's signature humor and deeply engaged with the
relationship between writer and reader  past and present  fact and fiction  quantum physics 
history  and myth  A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive  beguiling story of our
shared humanity and the search for home.
