Format:Paperback
This book is amazing, in 150 pages we get an insight to the limitations of a woman because of culture and her inability to communicate. Koko, the female protagaonist of this book is not likeable at first but her weaknesses and her fond memories of her chidhood beguile you all the same.
This is a book full of a person's dreams and internal life. It is gritty and quite black in its view of humanity. I would have been interested to know how much of the character's fortune was down to the culture of Japan. She is undoubtedely handicapped by an her inability to communicate. A sad story.

one of japan's leading female novelists, tsushima writes of self deception and wishful thinking in this story of a pregancy real or imagined. A slice of life in big city japan. Not for everyone but still a very well written story.
