I really enjoyed Yamada's ghost story Strangers, so I was hoping this would be as good.
It is.
The two main characters are a bit damaged I would say, with the narrator being an exhausted businessman with a thankless homelife and 67 year old woman who decreases in her physical age throughout the story.
Both sleep with each other a lot, and this gets a bit uncomfortable when the woman reaches 17 and he is 48!
Dirty old sod!
The ending is heartbreaking, but you'll have to read it to know what I mean.
It's well-written, funny in places, and hardly flags at all.
Excellent
