A tragedy in three letters: the masterpiece of one of Japan's greatest writers
A lover, her daughter and the abandoned wife: three letters by three women tell the story of a love affair's tragic consequences.
First Shoko, who finds out about the infidelity through reading her mother's diary; then Midori, the wife who has always known but never told; and finally the beautiful Saiko, the woman who has betrayed her best friend. Yasushi Inoue's poised, unsentimental novella is a powerful tale with universal resonance. Written from three different points of view, the story explores the impact of forbidden passion.
Don't miss this stunning new edition of a celebrated translation of a Modern classic -- the best known and most accomplished novel by the beloved Japanese author of the acclaimed novella Bullfight.
