Sisters Rei, Kiki and Ai have always had to look out for one another - but life has taken them on very different paths.
Eldest daughter Rei is spiky and sensible, distracting herself with an all-consuming job at a financial corporation in London.
Big-hearted Kiki is a single mother in Tokyo, juggling the demands of her young son and the cantankerous elderly residents of the retirement home she works in.
The free-spirited youngest, Ai , is a Japanese pop idol who has found fame and fortune but lost herself along the way. When Ai is embroiled in a scandal and thrust into the spotlight, Rei must pick up the pieces of her family once more.
Over the course of a summer in their childhood home on the Japanese coast, the sisters reunite with their sharp-tongued grandmother, entertain Kiki's irrepressible son and silently worry about Ai, carefully avoiding the subject of their mother's death fifteen years before. But silence between sisters can only last for so long . . .
Transporting, funny and moving, Kakigori Summer is an uplifting exploration of love and loss, sisterhood and family, the stories we tell ourselves about the past and how they determine our future.

"Itami (Fault Lines) serves up an inviting and wistful tale of three sisters who reunite during a crisis... Itami strikes just the right chord, showing how the sisters indulge their nostalgia for happier times even as they attempt to reckon with their painful memories. Readers are in for a treat." - Publishers Weekly - Publishers Weekly
"What is the cost of a mother's desire?...Emily Itami explores this question with wit and poignancy." - New York Times Book Review on Fault Lines
"What's intriguing about Fault Lines is its shrewd commentary on Japan's societal expectations of women as either sex objects or dutiful mothers. As Mizuki eventually learns, it's in striking a workable balance between these two dichotomies-her past life versus her present one, titillating desire versus familial obligations, who she wants to be versus who society dictates she should be-that the real work of living begins." - Washington Post
"A complicated romance with immense empathy for all its characters and their flaws [and] a wonderfully nuanced take on Tokyo life." - Popsugar on Fault Lines
"Sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of prose as sumptuous as the meals described, Fault Lines is a must read for anyone fond of Sally Rooney's expert characterization and Haruki Murakami's immersive world-building." - Bon Appétit
"Fault Lines manages to be clever, wise, and heartbreaking all at once-the book is the perfect marriage of Sally Rooney and early Murakami, with a unique insight into marriage, motherhood, and warring cultural expectations that is all Emily Itami's own. Absolutely brilliant." - Kathy Wang, author of Impostor Syndrome
