Product Description

Review

Lambda Lit ReviewSimultaneously seductive and elusive...Ekuni serves up an array of subtly nuanced emotion. The GuardianBright and clear...(Twinkle Twinkle) is modern, charming, and thoroughly enjoyable. BUST MagazineThis book is simple. This book is a pearl...Twinkle Twinkle is totally earnest, and absolutely surprising." Book DescriptionThis is a savvy novel dealing with city life, commodity culture, marriage, forgiveness, and acceptance.


Book Description

Appearances are deceptive. Mutsuki and Shoko appear to everyone, including their overbearing parents, to be just a typical Tokyo husband and wife. But each has a deep, dark secret, and their marriage of convenience only appears to be the solution each one needs.

Mutsuki is strictly gay and has a boyfriend. Shoko is a clinical case of emotional instability and drinks too much. At first this mismatched pair provided support for each other, but all of a sudden they only seem to bring each other down. In Twinkle Twinkle a modern marriage unravels, and it takes uniquely modern thinking to piece it back together.

Kaori Ekuni, Japan’s follow-up to Banana Yoshimoto, delicately wraps her story of a young couple’s dependence and acceptance around you with her savvy wit -- and then gently unwraps it. You’ll read Twinkle Twinkle in one sitting.

5.0 out of 5 stars simple & twinkling, 18 Jun 2009
By Dafni Saridi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fantastic story taken from real modern life but just with a little twist just so you can smile,laugh,cry and get angry along with the sentences. Ekuni talks about a peculiar kind of love which is no weaker nor stronger than the one that everybody would call 'normal love'. Getting lost in her world is my favorite time of the day!!!!!
