Four ordinary women, friends of convenience, stuck in dead-end jobs, poverty, and unhappy families are drawn into crime in 1990s Japan.
It's a great novel full of betrayals, twists, cynicism, and strong characters, but the ending is disappointing and hyper-violent.

Out, Natsuo Kirino

7/10

Starting a new reading today:
"El Gato que Amaba los Libros" ("The Cat who Saved Books" in English) from Sosuke Natsukawa. Hoping to have another pleasant time inside Japanese literature!
