Someone to Watch Over You: Japanese Novellas
Autor Kumi Kimura Traducere de Asa Yonedaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2025
It's early 2020, and with the world in chaos as coronavirus spreads, two lonely people, both seeking to break with their pasts, meet and start sharing a home.
One is a former security guard who was captured on video knocking down a protester who died soon afterward; the other, a former teacher accused of driving a student to suicide. In an oppressive atmosphere of tension and fear, the pair avoid direct contact and communicate through notes and their shared presences, close yet distant.
Their odd connection, with neither affection nor trust, brings them a kind of privacy and safety they both need - but at what cost?
