すべて真夜中の恋人たち

In Tokyo, a woman in her thirties works as a proofreader, a job that keeps her largely alone with other people's words. She lives a carefully ordered life, but she sleeps badly and finds the city's late hours unsettling. Through a series of quiet encounters, including a chance meeting with a man whose solitude seems to mirror her own, she begins to notice the small, unspoken longings she has kept at a distance. The novel moves slowly through ordinary days and sleepless nights, paying close attention to gestures, silences and the many ways people reach for one another and fall back again.
