Fuyuko Irie is a freelance copy editor in her mid-thirties. Working and living alone in a city where it is not easy to form new relationships, she has little regular contact with anyone other than her editor, Hijiri, a woman of the same age but with a very different disposition. When Fuyuko stops one day on a Tokyo street and notices her reflection in a storefront window, what she sees is a drab, awkward, and spiritless woman who has lacked the strength to change her life and decides to do something about it. As the long overdue change occurs, however, painful episodes from Fuyuko's past surface and her behavior slips further and further beyond the pale. All the Lovers in the Night is acute and insightful, entertaining and engaging; it will make readers laugh, and it will make them cry, but it will also remind them, as only the best books do, that sometimes the pain is worth it. "In the skilled hands of Bett and Boyd, Kawakami's prose is instantly recognizable--immediate, incisive, and unfailingly honest."--Katie Kitamura, Entertainment Weekly (A Most Anticipated Book of 2022) Author: Mieko Kawakami Publisher: Europa Editions Published: 05/03/2022 Pages: 224 Binding Type: Hardcover Weight: 0.70lbs Size: 8.35h x 5.35w x 0.94d ISBN: 9781609456993 Review Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 03/14/2022 Booklist 04/01/2022 pg. 14 Kirkus Reviews 04/15/2022 Shelf Awareness 05/20/2022
