Each chapter is dedicated to one of the different lovers of Mr Nishino, and we navigate through his life by way of their personalities, and how they change his, by way of their intimacies. A beautifully written novel, which is expertly translated by Allison Markin Powell, that explores the way our relationships are indicative of a particular moment in our life, and the way both parties are subtly changed by the experience. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty
