Mei loses her Japanese mother at age six. Growing up in suburban Surrey, she yearns to fit in, suppressing not only her heritage but her growing desire for her best friend Fran.

Yuki leaves the Japanese countryside to pursue her dream of becoming a concert violinist in London. Far from home and in an unfamiliar city, she finds herself caught up in the charms of her older teacher.

Haruka attempts to navigate Tokyo's nightlife and all of its many vices, working as a hostess in the city's sex district. She grieves a mother who hid so many secrets from her, until finally one of those secrets comes to light . . .

Shifting between three intertwining narratives, Mongrel reveals a tangled web of desire, isolation, belonging and ultimately, hope.

Review

'Sensational books transcend the very form they elevate by delivering a purity of thought with seeming effortlessness and here, in Mongrel, Hanako Footman conveys the truth of the world in lucid but spinning, transcendental sentences. It's so beautiful that I became lost in it, and I can't find the right words because they are all in this book. Simply, it must be read' - Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women and Animal


'Mongrel is a hypnotic, haunting exploration of identity and womanhood. A darkly lush tale of three women in search of connection' - Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake

'Mongrel is a stunning read. A brilliant explosion of writing and storytelling with one of the most unique and powerful voices I've come across in an author. This feels like reading an Oscar-winning film' - Aisling Bea

'Mongrel is an unforgettable novel that is raw and thought-provoking with exceptional poetic prose. It explores identity and belonging in a
