Product Description
What is it like to be loved by a man who can never truly be yours?
Meet Mr Nishino, an irresistible, mysterious and deeply complicated man who falls in love again and again. Across his life, ten different women tell their stories of loving him—from colleagues and chance encounters to friends and former lovers.
Each woman remembers Nishino differently. Some are captivated by him, some are frustrated by him, and others value their independence more than the possibility of being with him. Together, their stories create a layered portrait of a charming yet elusive man and the complicated nature of love, desire and attachment.
The Ten Loves of Mr Nishino is an elegant Japanese novel about love, relationships, desire, memory and the many different ways people experience intimacy.
