Soft coverTsukiko is 38 years old and leads a lonely life. She considers that she is not endowed with love. Until one day he finds his old Japanese teacher in a tavern. Between both a tacit pact is established to share the loneliness. They choose the same food, they look for each other's company and find it difficult to separate, although sometimes they try to escape from each other: the teacher, in the memory of the woman who left him one day; Tsukiko, in an old classmate. With a sensual and deprived prose, Kawakami tells a very special love story: the subtle approach of two lovers, with all their intimate beauty, tenderness and depth. All a literary discovery.
