Review
[Tsushima's heroines share a] hopeless, level gaze which sees everything, the ability (in spite of having seen everything) to go ahead, eyes on the road-it takes a very special and very personal talent to so convincingly display this....[And] here Tsushima has finally found something like perfection in this imperfect world-Geraldine Harcourt's translations. After the first page, one completely forgets that it is, indeed, a translation one is reading.--Donald Richie
These are stories that cut deeply, and remain etched into your memory long after the last page. Largely billed as a feminist writer, Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity.--Kris Kosaka
As potent and heady as a dry martini....Tsushima is an archaeologist of the female psyche, reconstructing the burnt nerve endings underneath unprepossessing female exteriors.
Tsushima is a subtle, surprising, elegant writer who courageously tells unexpected truths about an unfamiliar, yet recognizable world.--Margaret Drabble
Synopsis
Includes eight stories about single women coping with motherhood, jealousy, and the war between responsibility and entrapment.
