Book Description:

Sinister forces draw together a cast of desperate characters in this eerie and absorbing novel from Yōko Ogawa. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and innocent bystanders—their fates converge in a darkly beautiful web that they are each powerless to escape.

Macabre, fiendishly clever, and with a touch of the supernatural, Yōko Ogawa’s Revenge creates a haunting tapestry of death—and the afterlife of the living.
