Book Review of Out

Out
reviewed on


Natsuo Kirino takes the reader into the world of the lower class Japanese woman. The three protagonists are all factory workers. They care for families and each other is a strange and at times gut wrentching story. This is not the easiest book to read, but the Kirino makes you care about her characters. You will never get such a tour of this part of Japan again.
