<— Back to FULL LIST

Author: Togawa, Masako (trans. Simon Grove); 1962

tankforwin’s rating: ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 (Dated 12 FEB 2022)

Dark and mysterious. This book gripped my senses as I scrutinized through the plot. Only at the end did I realize all the hints missed along the way. Set in a somber setting of 1950’s postwar Japan, the K Apartment for Ladies hides secrets for each of its residents which all eventually reveal through the master key.

Bonus: I first wrote/published the Wikipedia article for this book! Here is a COPY of when I first wrote it!
