Description

When Yuko Moriguchi's four-year-old daughter died in the middle school where she teaches, everyone thought it was a tragic accident.

It's the last day of term, and Yuko's last day at work. She tells her students that she has resigned because of what happened - but not for the reasons they think.

Her daughter didn't die in an accident. Her daughter was killed by two people in the class. And before she leaves, she has a lesson to teach...

But revenge has a way of spinning out of control, and Yuko's last lecture is only the start of the story. In this bestselling Japanese thriller of love, despair and murder, Confessions, everyone has a confession to make, and no one will escape unharmed.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Confessions by Kanae Minato is praised for its brilliantly original and chilling narrative, described as a dark portrayal of disturbed Japanese adolescence. The novel offers a taut and unsettling story that hooks readers with its engaging and unconventional crime writing style. Kanae Minato's prose is hypnotic, unveiling a dark heart as secrets unfold, and keeps the audience riveted with its twists and turns reminiscent of an Escher print. It draws parallels to Lord of the Flies, exploring the sinister sides of youth and cultural perils.
