From the author of The Memory Police

'A conspicuously gifted writer...To read Ogawa is to enter a dreamlike state tinged with a nightmare, and her stories continue to haunt. She possesses an effortless, glassy, eerie brilliance' - Guardian

Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders - each locked in the embrace of an ominous and darkly beautiful web, their fates all converge through the eleven stories in Yoko Ogawa's Revenge. As tales of the macabre pass from character to character - an aspiring writer, a successful surgeon, a cabaret singer, a lonely craftsman - Ogawa provides us with slices of life that are resplendent in chaos, enthralling in passion, and chilling in cruelty.
