A gripping debut
set in modern-day Tokyo and inspired by a true crime, for readers of Everything
I Never Told You and The Perfect Nanny, What's Left of Me Is Yours charts a
young woman's search for the truth about her mother's life--and her murder.
In Japan, a covert industry has grown up around the
"wakaresaseya" (literally "breaker-upper"), a person hired
by one spouse to seduce the other in order to gain the advantage in divorce
proceedings. When Satō hires Kaitarō, a wakaresaseya agent, to have an affair
with his wife, Rina, he assumes it will be an easy case. But Satō has never
truly understood Rina or her desires and Kaitarō's job is to do exactly
that--until he does it too well. While Rina remains ignorant of the
circumstances that brought them together, she and Kaitarō fall in a desperate,
singular love, setting in motion a series of violent acts that will forever
haunt her daughter's life.
Told from alternating points of view and across the breathtaking
landscapes of Japan, Stephanie Scott exquisitely renders the affair and its
intricate repercussions. As Rina's daughter, Sumiko, fills in the gaps of her
mother's story and her own memory, Scott probes the thorny psychological and
moral grounds of the actions we take in the name of love, asking where we draw
the line between passion and possession.
