RNZ's Nine to Noon: Mongrel by Hanako Footman / by Time Out Bookstore

Mongrel, a Time Out staff favourite for 2024, follows three women’s explorations of cultural identity. Moving between England and Japan, the threads that connect these characters are revealed.

This is a coming of age debut that features an expert hand of character development and an articulate and compelling exploration of cultural identity.
