10 runners-up will each receive a signed copy of the book.

Set in the narrow alleys of 1990s Tokyo, Sisters in Yellow is a stunning portrayal of female friendship and cut-throat betrayal.
Hana has nothing but she's hopeful. She's fifteen years old. She lives in a tiny apartment in a suburb of Tokyo with her young mother, a hostess at a local dive bar. They have no money, no security. Then Kimiko appears.
Kimiko is older, a bright light in Hana's dark world. Together they set up Lemon, a bar that, despite its shabby setting and seedy clientele, becomes a haven for Hana. Suddenly Hana has a job she loves, friends to share her days with, and the glittering promise of money. She feels like a normal girl. She feels invincible.
But in the narrow alleys of Sangenjaya, nothing is as it seems. Soon all of Hana's hope, her optimism, and her drive, will be tested to the limit...
A tender coming-of-age story with a brilliantly unsettling touch of noir, Sisters in Yellow might just be Mieko Kawakami's best book yet.
