This is an internal stream of consciousness story, beautifully written and poignant. This is an incredible mental journal of a woman abandoned by her husband, and after 12 years slowly lets go of him so she can begin her life anew. I suspect this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for me it was hauntingly beautiful and well worth the read.

Very refined. However, I liked better Kawakami's earlier and less spooky book The Teacher's Briefcase.

I can understand why all the men in her life leave her. The heroine of this book is self-absorbed, whiney, neurotic and wanders in and out of lucidity. If that is your cup of tea, have at it. If not, leave it.
