This audiobook includes an exclusive Q&A with the author
Mei loses her Japanese mother at age six. Growing up in suburban Surrey, she yearns to fit in, suppressing not only her heritage but her growing desire for her best friend Fran.
Yuki leaves the Japanese countryside to pursue her dream of becoming a concert violinist in London. Far from home and in an unfamiliar city, she finds herself caught up in the charms of her older teacher.
Haruka attempts to navigate Tokyo's nightlife and all of its many vices, working as a hostess in the city's sex district. She grieves a mother who hid so many secrets from her, until finally one of those secrets comes to light . . .
Shifting between three intertwining narratives, Mongrel reveals a tangled web of desire, isolation, belonging and ultimately, hope.

LISTEN TO THIS BOOK
This book is exceptionally written and the way the narrative slowly unravels and the stories weave together so beautifully. This book is a tapestry of life.

What a find!
It's easy to choose all manner of books and podcasts to listen to, but pleased I stumbled across this lovely literary work. The writing is descriptive to the point that the journey of listening was very absorbing.
I would love to see this as a film, as I think it would translate well.
The bonus was that the author was excellent at reading her own work.
Wonderful!!

An outstanding debut
It would be near impossible for me to word how bereft I feel leaving behind these three women. I feel so close to them all, moved so greatly by their lives and inner workings. I’m comforted knowing that they were all so well written, part of them will live with me forever.
The narration is beautifully executed, a rare thing to hear the writer bring their own words to life. It adds an extra beautiful layer.
I could not recommend this listen more highly.

Raw poetry
This debut novel shows a innate talent for intelligent and intuitive storytelling. I really appreciate the time it apparently took to write, giving the “blood, sweat and tears” necessary to make such a beautiful piece of literary art.
The writing is raw, seems to be coming from deep inside and is full of the poetry around us in every day life.
Hearing the author’s voice made the novel come to life even more.
Bravo et merci pour ce merveilleux premier roman!

Pain of separation and reassurance of union. You are beautiful as you are.
So
Beautifully expressed!
The story falls into one love jigsaw puzzle of golden rice field.——-maturity, ready to be harvested.
Hanako must be a poet. A Meistersinger!
Throughout the book beautiful light is shining through, even in ugly scenes. The quality of light evolves towards the end. Look forward to her next book read by her! Thank you for deep love you shared with readers.
