Mongrel by Hanako Footman
An interlinked portrait of women in London and Tokyo, this novel follows a mixed‑race young woman pushing through humiliating auditions and fraught relationships, a mother reckoning with a past shaped by Tokyo’s hostess bars, and another woman navigating precarious work and sexual commodification. Their stories mirror and refract one another across generations, exposing the fetishization of Asian women, the pressures of class and migration, and the uneasy negotiations of desire, autonomy, and belonging.
