My name is Nao, and I am a time being. Do you know what a time being is? Well, if you give me a moment, I will tell you.'\n                    Ruth discovers a Hello Kitty lunchbox washed up on the shore of her beach home. Within it lies a diary that expresses the hopes and dreams of a young girl. She suspects it might have arrived on a drift of debris from the 2011 tsunami. With every turn of the page, she is sucked deeper into an enchanting mystery. \n                    In a small cafe in Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao Yasutani is navigating the challenges thrown up by modern life. In the face of cyberbullying, the mysteries of a 104-year-old Buddhist nun and great-grandmother, and the joy and heartbreak of family, Nao is trying to find her own place - and voice - through a diary she hopes will find a reader and friend who finally understands her.   \n                    Weaving across continents and decades, and exploring the relationship between reader and writer, fact and fiction, A Tale for the Time Being is an extraordinary novel about our shared humanity and the search for home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canongate Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42972419162278,"sku":"9780857867964","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/a-tale-for-the-time-being-9780857867964-4068219715628.jpg?v=1656041173","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/a-tale-for-the-time-being-3","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
