Opis

A seductive psychological thriller about obsession, jealousy and deceit - and a Japanese queer classic. Sonoko must tell her story. Listen and decide for yourself.

Sonoko Kakiuchi is a cultured Osaka lady in an uninspiring marriage. When she decides to take an art class in town she meets the extraordinary Mitsuko, a woman as beautiful and charismatic as she is cunning. They begin a passionate affair but as Sonoko`s infatuation with Mitsuko deepens, she finds herself sinking ever-further into a quicksand of sex, humiliation and deceit.

`A riveting tale of malevolent corruption fatally masked by a terrible and deceptive beauty` Kirkus Reviews

`Classic Tanizaki…exuberant storytelling within a multi-layered narrative of sexual obsession` Japan Times

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY KRISTEN ROUPENIAN
