"Ni d'Eve, ni d'Adam" chronicles her time as a 21-year-old in Japan, studying spoken Japanese and dating a sensitive, meticulous, loving young man. Their mutual affection, their adventures throughout Japan, and her confused impulse to flee from him, are presented here free of moralizing, free of sentiment. I couldn't stop reading it.

This edition is beautifully designed, too. I love Nothomb's signature goofy author portraits.]]>
