Publisher's Summary
The long-awaited translation of the novel behind the cult classic Japanese movie.
In this gloriously over-the-top tale, Aoyama, a widower who has lived alone with his son ever since his wife died seven years before, finally decides it is time to remarry. Since Aoyama is a bit rusty when it comes to dating, a filmmaker friend proposes that, in order to attract the perfect wife, they do a casting call for a movie they don't intend to produce. As the resumes pile up, only one of the applicants catches Aoyama's attention - Yamasaki Asami - a striking young former ballerina with a mysterious past. Blinded by his instant and total infatuation, Aoyama is too late in discovering that she is a far cry from the innocent young woman he imagines her to be. The novel's fast-paced, thriller conclusion doesn't spare the listener as Yamasaki takes off her angelic mask and reveals what lies beneath.
Contains mature themes.

What in the misogynistic hell was this?
Hey, if you’re a woman or like women at all, skip this. Even if you overlook the objectification and stereotyping, the story is dull and unoriginal.
SPOILERS:
Man pursues woman inappropriately young for him, she’s a male fantasy with no actual personality, she turns out to be unhinged and murderous when he hurts her feelings. Yawn.
