Kumiko has trapped Death in her vacuum cleaner. Now what does she do with it?
Melanie Tamaki is human?but her parents aren?t. They are from Half World, a Limbo between our world and the afterlife, and her father is still there. When her mother disappears, Melanie must follow her to Half World?and neither of them may return alive. Imagine Coraline as filmed by the Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki ( Howl?s Moving Castle ), or Neil Gaiman collaborating with Charles de Lint. Half World is vivid, visceral, unforgettable, a combination of prose and images that will haunt you.
A novel which follows the lives of three generations of Japanese-Canadian women, blending myth, folk legend and fiction.
