The Spare Room

It all started when my father got this idea in his head about sending me to Australia to learn English.

Akira is sent from Japan to Australia, into a world where everything seems new and strange. The language is full of unexpected pitfalls, everyday routines pose challenges, and something is not quite right with his homestay hosts, the Moffat family. But then, all is not quite right with Akira either.

The Spare Room is a tale of living between two cultures and discovering that, no matter where you’ve come from, sometimes the journey is exactly the same.
