Description

FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY, INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR Mind-blowing, twisted and wildly entertaining, Earthlings asks: how far would you go just to be yourself? As a child, Natsuki believed she was an alien, a different species to her earthling family and classmates. She hoped a spaceship would come down and take her home. Now, she lives quietly in an asexual marriage, pretending to be normal. But the buried horrors of Natsuki s past are pursuing her. As she flees the suburbs for the Nagano mountains and a reunion with her beloved cousin Yuu, she wonders, what will it take to escape the earthlings?
