| Summary |
"Mizuki is a Japanese housewife. She has a hard-working husband, two adorable children, and a beautiful Tokyo apartment. It's everything a woman could want, yet sometime she wonders whether it would be more fun to throw herself off her high-rise balcony than to spend another evening hanging up laundry and not talking to her husband. Then, one night, she meets Kiyoshi, a successful restauranteur. In him, Mizuki rediscovers freedom, friendship, and the neon, electric pulse of the city she has always loved. But the further she falls into their relationship, the clearer it becomes that she is living two lives--and in the end, we can only choose one. Funny, provocative, and startingly honest, Fault Lines is for anyone who has ever looked in the mirror and asked, Who am I, and how did I get here? A bittersweet love story and a piercing portrait of female identity, it introduces Emily Itami as a debut novelist with astonishing resonance and wit"-- Dust jacket. |
