Description

In a society bound by tradition, Tomo endures the profound humiliation of her husband's insatiable desires. The narrative intricately explores the complex and often fraught relationships that develop as Tomo navigates a path of providing mistresses for her husband. This powerful novel delves into themes of female endurance, societal constraints, and the quiet strength found in the face of personal sacrifice. Enchi masterfully portrays the inner lives of women grappling with their roles and desires within a patriarchal world.
