Love Amongst Strangers

'Dear Courtney, I know I should be telling you nice things, but in truth, I’m completely out of sorts being here. I just don’t think I fit in.'

A tale of two cities, bringing together two strangers from different walks of life as they find themselves eventually drawn towards the same path. From the dirt and grime of London to the routine efficiency of Tokyo half a world away, hapless romantic Daniel Zwolinski yearns for the pop culture of the past amidst the chill of Highbury Overground's open platforms whilst Molly Tildën rides the Women Only car in rush hour, commuting from Kawagoeshi in Saitama Prefecture along the Seibu Shinjuku Line, both struggling with their own ideas of what Japan means, what relationships mean, and how to heal a broken heart.

With heart and warmth, Love Amongst Strangers is a tiny slice of Generation X loneliness for the dispossessed. Recommended for anyone who has ever gone travelling in search of home.
