About this product

From the author of the global sensation Butter , this psychological thriller explores the thin line between female friendship and dangerous obsession. Eriko, a successful but lonely professional in the seafood industry, becomes fascinated with Shoko, a housewife whose messy, unmanicured life is the opposite of her own. As Eriko systematically inserts herself into Shoko’s world, her desire for connection spirales into a possessive and unsettling fixation. Translated by Polly Barton, the novel serves as a sharp social commentary on loneliness and the expectations placed on women in contemporary Japan.
