52-Hertz Whales Limited edition. Sonoko Machida

A touching novel about two traumatized and isolated people who become friends and find a common language, despite the difficulties!

A whale that sings at a frequency of 52 hertz is the only one in the world. This song is so unique that other whales cannot even hear it. Its voice does not reach anyone, and no one sings back. That is why it was called "the loneliest whale on the planet."

This is the story of a young woman who was abused by her parents for many years, until her friends finally helped her break all ties with her family. And then Kiko moves to a remote seaside village altogether. Having settled in her new place, she meets a 13-year-old boy whose name her mother took away, leaving only the nickname "Insect."

Both know very well what it is to be betrayed, what it is to be lonely. But their meeting is the beginning of a new story, the story of two kindred souls.
