In these stories of human connection in a contemporary, alienated world, people come together to share pieces of their lives, then part. We meet the women who share a house after the outbreak of war before going their separate ways once it is over; the man who lives in a succession of rooftop apartments; the diverging lives of two brothers who are raised as latch-key kids by factory workers; the old ramen restaurant that endures despite the demolition of all surrounding buildings; people who watch a new type of spaceship lift off from a pier that once belonged to an island resort; and more.   These 34 tales from all over the planet have the compulsive power of news reports, narrated in a crisp yet allegorical style.","brand":"Stone Bridge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50124434932055,"sku":"9798988688730","price":15.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9798988688730.jpg?v=1741292600","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-hundred-years-and-a-day-9798988688730","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
