Scattered All Over the Earth

Scattered All Over the Earth is a thought-provoking, gently dystopian novel from the award-winning author of The Last Children of Tokyo. Set in a future where Japan has disappeared beneath the sea, it follows Hiruko, a climate refugee who now teaches immigrant children in Denmark. Speaking a language she invented—Panska, a blend of Scandinavian tongues—Hiruko represents a new kind of identity: rootless, adaptable, and resilient.

As Hiruko journeys across Europe searching for someone who still speaks her lost mother tongue, she gathers a diverse group of companions, each with their own story and perspective. Among them are Knut, a linguistics student fascinated by her homemade language; Nanook, a man from Greenland often mistaken for a fellow exile; and Nora, a museum worker with her own quiet longing. Their intertwined narratives explore themes of belonging, cultural memory, and human connection.

With warmth, wit, and originality, Scattered All Over the Earth captures a future shaped by displacement and reinvention. Through its kaleidoscope of voices, Scattered All Over the Earth invites readers to consider how language, identity, and friendship can transcend borders.
