The Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko ImamuraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sometimes I thoroughly enjoy a book because the message it conveys is loud and clear. This wasn’t one of those times. I did thoroughly enjoy it, but I’m not really sure what its point was.
It deals with obsession, voyeurism, work drudgery, the rise and inevitable downfall of an employee, and various other topics. But I can’t really say I understood the ending.
Still, it was written very well (kudos to the author as well as the translator, Lucy North) and kept me interested throughout.
