Über diesen Titel

Críticas

"Ogawa is original, elegant, very disturbing." --Hilary Mantel, author of WOLF HALL

"I've been telling everyone about this book. . . . It's a story about love, which is quite different from a love story. It's one of the most beautiful novels." --Junot Diaz on The Housekeeper and the Professor

"Gorgeous, cinematic. . . This novel has all the charm and restraint of any by Ishiguro or Kenzaburo Oe, and the whimsy of Murakami." --Los Angeles Times on The Housekeeper and the Professor

"Strangely charming, flecked with enough wit and mystery to keep us engaged throughout." --The Washington Post Book World on The Housekeeper and the Professor

"Still waters run dark in these bright yet eerie novellas, whose crisp, almost guileless prose hides unexpected menace." --The New York Times Book Review on The Diving Pool

"Exquisitly disturbing . . . Ogawa steadily builds the tension to an unexpected crescendo." --Elle on The Diving Pool

"Ogawa writes in a lean, muscular way that goes deep, exploring how malevolence coexists with everyday impulse. . . . She creates a memorable unease." --Los Angeles Times on The Diving Pool

Reseña del editor

After a mysterious desire draws her to a widowed translator suspected of killing his wife, 17-year-old hotel clerk Mari is initiated into a dark realm of pleasure and pain, one that she embraces even more than the translator, just as she begins to long for the older man's nephew as well. By the author of The Housekeeper and the Professor. Original.
