Mei is the titular mongrel - a child of a Japanese mother, who she loses when she‘s just six, and a white father. Yuki leaves Japan to study music in London and falls in love with her older teacher. Haruka works as a hostess in Tokyo‘s sex district.
I loved this tangle of narratives and couldn‘t put it down at times.
If you liked #womensprize nominee River East, River West then I think you‘ll like this too. For me, this one is slightly better.
Cathythoughts Wonderful review ♥️ and picture 🐶 Stacked. 3mo
LeahBergen Someone‘s not impressed that they‘ve been chosen to model something titled Mongrel. 🤣 3mo
squirrelbrain I did tell him he isn‘t a mongrel! @LeahBergen 🤣 I nearly used the photo where he‘s sliding off the sofa in disgust! 3mo

Hooked_on_books He‘s so cute! I called Bindi my little mongrel all the time. I use it as a term of endearment. (And she is a mixed breed, after all. 😬) 3mo
sarahbarnes This sounds very interesting! Adding to my list. Adorable pic. 🩵 3mo

Cupcake12 Great photo x 3mo
BarbaraBB Thank you for recommending this. Sounds like my kind of book indeed. Stacking (and probably buying later today 🤷🏻♀️) 3mo
squirrelbrain @Hooked_on_books - I call Henry my little menace! He‘s not a posh dog (no Kennel Club here!) but he‘s not a mix - both his parents are black labs. Although on of his brothers is a yellow lab. 3mo
squirrelbrain I hope you like it if you do buy it! @BarbaraBB 3mo
Velvetfur That book sounds really good and the doggie is gorgeous 🥰 3mo
