The Woman in the Purple Skirt by Natsuko Imamura

dark mysterious fast-paced

3.0

what a strange little book. it could've gone in a lot of different directions, but it didn't - which was slightly disappointing as I was expecting it to be more dark and twisted. 
mostly a story about obsession, japanese work culture, the treatment of women, and the desire to be seen, which is exactly what you would think this would be about. it was good, and I didn't struggle at all to finish it as it was captivating enough. just..... fell a little flat for me.
