![]() ![]() ![]() I missed out on a book club reading of it a few months ago and heard only good things and I’m so glad to say that I agree, this is a wonderful read. It’s been a while since I’ve read any Japanese literature so I jumped at the chance to read “The Ten Loves of Mr Nishino”. Some are entranced by Nishino, others care more for their freedom, their children (or their cats).Īs we come to learn of the torments, desires and delights of each woman, a portrait emerges of a complicated man whose great capacity for love may well be the cause of his downfall. One woman is a colleague, another a chance encounter one is the girlfriend of a classmate, another the best friend of Nishino’s latest conquest. Over the course of his life, Mr Nishino falls hopelessly in love again and again. If you’d like to see what we discussed, you can catch up with the read-along in my Instagram story highlights. A group of us recently read the book over three days, stopping along the way to discuss. I read this book as part of the read-along organised by Tandem Collective who kindly gifted me a paperback copy.
