In modern-day Tokyo, a gripping debut explores a young woman's quest for the truth behind her mother's death, revealing the extremes families will go to protect their secrets. The story delves into Japan's covert industry of "wakaresaseya," where individuals are hired to seduce a spouse for divorce leverage. When Satō employs Kaitarō, a wakaresaseya agent, to seduce his wife Rina, he underestimates her complexities. Kaitarō's mission takes an unexpected turn as he develops genuine feelings for Rina, who remains unaware of the manipulation. Their passionate affair ignites a chain of violent events that forever impact their daughter, Sumiko. Through alternating perspectives and the stunning landscapes of Japan, the narrative intricately weaves the affair's consequences. As Sumiko pieces together her mother's past and her own memories, the story examines the psychological and moral dilemmas inherent in love, questioning the boundaries between passion and possession. This compelling tale invites readers to reflect on the lengths individuals will go to in the name of love and the haunting repercussions of their choices.
