The Woman in the Purple Skirt

Más información sobre el libro

"Almost every afternoon, the Woman in the Purple Skirt sits on the same park bench, where she eata a cream bun while the local children make a game of trying to get her attention. Perched just out of sight is the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan, who monitors which buses she takes, what she eats, and whom she speaks to, and who lures her to a job as a hotel housekeeper. Soon, the Woman in the Purple Skirt is having an affair with the boss and all eyes are on her. But no one knows or cares about the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan. Humorously deadpan and chillingly voyeuristic, this bestselling, prize-winning novel by one of Japan's most acclaimed young writers is an off-kilter, unsettling, suspenseful narrative about the sometimes desperate desire to be seen."--Back cover
