A Lost Paradise by Jun’ichi (Junichi) Watanabe
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 353 kB
Overview: The book that caused a sensation! This tale of extramarital sexual obsession and all-or-nothing love struck a deep chord in Japanese readers. Published only recently, it set sales records in the millions of copies and soon crossed over to other media as well–first as a radio and TV drama, then as a blockbuster movie. The popularity of the novel has spread across Asia as well, with hugely successful translations into Korean and Chinese. In the West, readers may be reminded of The Bridges of Madison County, another best-selling novel of blazing midlife passion–one with a very different outcome.
Here the lovers are Kuki, a 54-year-old employee in a publishing company, and Rinko, a childless, 37-year-old woman unhappily married to a cold fish of a husband, a professor of medicine. Stuck in a dead-end job and an uneventful marriage, Kuki is irresistibly drawn to Rinko from their first encounter, seeing through her demure demeanor to the passionate woman beneath. She returns his feelings with ever-increasing abandon, despite lingering fears about where her sexual awakening may lead her. In the end, both are prepared to risk all for their relationship: family, career, and social standing, even life itself.
