Reseña del libro "Tokyo Mayday (en Inglés)"
This is Maison Urwin's debut novel, which follows the ordeal of a family's economic migration from the Federal Republic of England & Wales to Tokyo. The power is in the East. The Federal Republic of England & Wales is in crisis. Western economic collapse has led to mass economic migration to China, Korea and especially Japan. Jordan May is offered a transfer with Matsucorp and takes wife, Shaylie, and son, Alfie, to a new and bewildering life in the Orient. The book is set in the 2050s when, following the end of capitalism in Europe, the Far East is now considered the developed world. Society in the West has fallen apart and the East Asia is the destination of choice for economic migrants who are prepared to take risks and endure prejudice in the search for a better life. The May family emigrates from Harwich, England to Japan and husband, wife and son battle discrimination, are embroiled in political activism and forbidden romance, are targeted in racist attacks and are endangered by unwitting gangland involvement. As the climax approaches in a violent political demonstration on the streets of Tokyo, we begin to discover the extent to which a mysterious, wiry Englishman has manipulated each of them. This work of speculative fiction sees the Mays thrust into industrial politics, illegal unionisation and hostessing. Teenage love and the organisation of a mass demonstration take place against a backdrop of racial tension and the rise of the far right. Could Shaylie's life be in danger? Is the mafia involved? And just who is the Machiavellian Stepson Struthwin who sits on Matsucorp's board and has such a hold over the lives of those around him?
