Her latest project, reintroducing the controversial Nile perch to the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious, but beneath her flawless surface she is lonely. She becomes fascinated by Shoko’s popular blog about convenience-store food and an untidy home, the opposite of the carefully polished lifestyle associated with the typical Japanese housewife. When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is charmed at first. As Eriko’s obsession deepens, however, her possessive behaviour arouses suspicion. When her carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend she has ever had? Translated by Polly Barton, this unsettling story explores food, loneliness, womanhood and the boundary between friendship and dangerous obsession in contemporary Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54025135128923,"sku":"9780008753832","price":37.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1787\/2513\/files\/0663201.jpg?v=1789062586","url":"https:\/\/czechmovie.com\/products\/9780008753832","provider":"czechmovie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
