In 1930s Japan, an artist draws up a plan to murder six women and create from their parts a single perfect figure. Forty years later, no one has solved it.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want to be immersed in a world: mood and setting as important as plot. This is a book that asks something of you. Dense, layered, and best read slowly. It moves quickly: once you're in, it's hard to stop. Plot-first readers may find the pace too slow and the ambiguity too deliberate.
Best Read When
Best read when you're in the mood for something atmospheric and mysterious, and a read that's fast and propulsive.
