    A more intimate and romantic entry in the Maiden's Bookshelf series, this tale of doomed romance brings together the so-called "God of Literature" with the gorgeous artwork of Atsuki Ito, author of A Love-Letter in 26 Characters.

    “I can't imagine how wonderful it will be to die...”

    Confined to a sickbed by the seaside, a woman waits for death as her husband nurses her. This is no tragic idyll, however; the space between them is filled with antagonism, fear, suspicion, pain...and love.

    Riichi Yokomitsu brings a bitingly realistic sensibility to this claustrophobic tale of love and death, as
    moving as it is agonizing.
    Yokomitsu (1989-1947) was a modernist writer and co-founder of the magazine Bungei jidai (Literary Era), locus for the New Sensation School, which also included Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata. Yokomitsu is best known in English for his novel Shanghai.
