When Kayu Saitoh wakes up, she is in an unfamiliar place. Taken to a snowy mountainside, she was left there by her family and her village according to the tradition of sacrificing the lives of the elderly for the benefit of the young. Kayu was supposed to have passed quickly into the afterlife. Instead, she finds herself in Dendera, a utopian community built over decades by old women who, like her, were abandoned. Together, they must now face a new threat: a hungry mother bear.
“Dendera is riveting, hilarious, dark, gory, and absolutely brilliant...it’s as if Elena Ferrante and Stephen King collided on a Japanese mountaintop.”
—Jami Attenberg, New York Times best-selling author of The Middlesteins

Format: Paperback

In the Village, your family leaves you in the mountain to die when you turn 70, and this is how you enter Paradise. Kayu Saitoh wanted nothing more than to Climb the Mountain and rest in Paradise, but it was not to be. She's rescued and taken to Dendera, a place where other old women who had been left in the mountain now lived. Kayu, however, doesn't think of it as rescue--to her, it's an abomination, a sacrilege, and she wants nothing to do with it.

Dendera is split into two sects: the Hawks, who want to take revenge on the Village that abused them then left them to die, and the Doves, who want to make Dendera a sustainable, productive place. Before Kayu can decide where she belongs (or if she belongs at all), Dendera faces something new: a bear who threatens Dendera, Hawks and Doves and indifferents alike.

Sato is a man but manages to describe these women's experiences so genuinely. I typically prefer to read books about women by women, but Sato is masterful. This reads, at times, like a feminist manifesto.

This book is translated from the Japanese, and my only complaint is that sometimes the dialogue seems stilted, using words that didn't flow with the rest of the sentence.

I would recommend this to anyone with the warning that some parts are very graphic in their violence.
