Winner of the Naoki Prize
Perfect for fans of The Guest Cat & Before the Coffee Gets Cold 
'It’s no wonder the author won the prestigious Naoki Prize for this novel, which is at times heartwarming & suspenseful, detailing true resilience & survival.' Belfast Telegraph
One dog changes the life of everyone who takes him in on his journey to reunite with his first owner in this inspiring tribute to the bond between humans & dogs & the life-affirming power of connection. 
Following a devastating earthquake & tsunami, a young man in Japan finds a stray dog outside a convenience store. The dog’s tag says “Tamon,” a name evocative of the guardian deity of the north. The man decides to keep Tamon, becoming the first in a series of owners as the dog journeys south to find the boy whom disaster tore him from.
 
Over the course of five years, Tamon will be taken into six vastly ifferent homes, the final one belonging to his beloved first owner, Hikaru, a boy who has not spoken since the trauma of the tsunami. An agent of fate, Tamon is a gift to everyone who welcomes him into their life.
At once heart-rending & heart-warming, intimate & panoramic, suspenseful & luminous, this bestselling, awaward-winning novel weaves a feel-good tale of survival, resilience, & love beyond measure. 
Seishu Hase has published many bestselling novels in his native Japan, a number of which have been adapted for film. He has been nominated six times for the Naoki Prize, awarded biannually to the best work of popular fiction, & finally won it for The Boy and the Dog.
ALISON WATTS is the translator of the novels Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa, Spark by Naoki Matayoshi, & The Aosawa Murders & Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight by Riku Onda. She is a longtime resident of Japan.
