About the Book

Una novela apasionante ambientada en Tokio e inspirada en un crimen real, que traza la búsqueda de una joven por esclarecer la vida y el asesinato de su madre. Una novela de amor que deviene en thriller. Un true crime que descubre el lado oscuro del Japón más exquisito.

En Japón, una industria encubierta ha crecido entorno a la "wakaresaseya", esto es: los terminadores de relaciones. Se trata de personas contratadas por un cónyuge para seducir al otro y luego obtener una ventaja en los procedimientos de divorcio al poder acusarles de adulterio.

Cuando Satō contrata a Kaitarō, un agente de wakaresaseya, para que tenga una aventura con su esposa Rina, no cree que todo ello pueda írsele de las manos. Pero lo cierto es que Sato nunca ha entendido realmente a Rina, ni explorado sus deseos. Kaitarō pues deberá hacer aquello que el marido de Rina no se ha dignado a hacer nunca, para así poder enamorarla. Mientras Rina ignora las circunstancias que lo han unido a Kaitarō, ambos se enamoran desesperadamente, lo que les conducirá a un callejón sin salida en el que la propia hija de Rina se verá atrapada.

Contada desde puntos de vista alternos y con el impresionante paisaje de Japón siempre como telón de fondo, Stephanie Scott presenta una novela en la que el amor tiene unas intrincadas repercusiones que arrastran a sus personajes hacia la tragedia. Mientras la hija de Rina, Sumiko, llena los vacíos de la historia de su madre y de su propia memoria, Scott investiga los espinosos fundamentos psicológicos y morales de las acciones que tomamos en nombre del amor, cuestionando aquella línea divisoria que trazamos entre la pasión y la posesión.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Each chapter of this enrapturing novel is elegantly brief and charged with barely contained emotion." --New York Times Book Review

A gripping debut set in modern-day Tokyo and inspired by a true crime, for readers of Everything I Never Told You and The Perfect Nanny, What's Left of Me Is Yours charts a young woman's search for the truth about her mother's life--and her murder.

In Japan, a covert industry has grown up around the "wakaresaseya" (literally "breaker-upper"), a person hired by one spouse to seduce the other in order to gain the advantage in divorce proceedings. When Satō hires Kaitarō, a wakaresaseya agent, to have an affair with his wife, Rina, he assumes it will be an easy case. But Satō has never truly understood Rina or her desires and Kaitarō's job is to do exactly that--until he does it too well. While Rina remains ignorant of the circumstances that brought them together, she and Kaitarō fall in a desperate, singular love, setting in motion a series of violent acts that will forever haunt her daughter's life.

Told from alternating points of view and across the breathtaking landscapes of Japan, Stephanie Scott exquisitely renders the affair and its intricate repercussions. As Rina's daughter, Sumiko, fills in the gaps of her mother's story and her own memory, Scott probes the thorny psychological and moral grounds of the actions we take in the name of love, asking where we draw the line between passion and possession.
