| Summary: | Tsukiko, thirty-eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei," in a local bar. He is thirty years her senior, retired and presumably a widower. Their relationship develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other to a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love. Strange Weather in Tokyo is a moving, funny and immersive tale of modern Japan and old-fashioned romance. |
