Publisher's Synopsis
Newlyweds Shoko and Matsuki appear at first to be an ordinary couple, but appearances are deceptive. Alternating between the point of views of husband and wife, this 500,000 copy best-seller tells the unique tale of an emotionally unstable alcoholic woman married to a decidedly gay man in a bid to appease their parents. But when they start to doubt their arrangement - and their parents learn the truth - they must find a thoroughly modern way to continue their marriage of convenience. Winner of the prestigious Lady Murasaki Literary Award and available now in English for the first time.
