A short novel in which the author, obviously, wanted to "copy" the language and mindset of Japanese. Unfortunately we feel imitation repeatedly, and in terms of the writing language, it is poor, it is more pleasant to read a true translation of the Japanese ...
From the perspective of the plot, the beginning is promising, and the reflections of the man against the intrusion and its own reaction is interesting. Yes, but.
But reflection is cut short and does not lead to anything, then we move to the other side of the woman, the intruder, through the judicial determination. And there, total flat. PLus no interest and the novel is almost finished fishtail.
In the end, a disappointment, well mostly a frustration of not having seen this story unfold, the basic frame was based on an even stronger reality than fiction.
