Review If a book can keep me enraptured for the whole journey I count that as pretty unputdownable . . . a brief, compelling study of alientation and friendship; I binge-read it in one sitting. -- Rebecca F Kuang, bestselling author of BabelKawakamis novel is uncompromisingly candid in its appraisal of the harm women inflict on one another, while never losing sight of the overarching structures that lead them to do so in the first place. Compact and supple, its a strikingly intelligent feat. * The New York Times Book Review *Her most accomplished novel yet . . . A contemporary Japanese master continues her meteoric rise into our literary firmament -- Hamilton Cain * Oprah Daily (A Most Anticipated Book of 2022) *[An] engrossing, fine-boned new novel, deftly translated from Japanese by Sam Bett and David Boyd . . . with this consummate novel, Kawakamis star continues to rise, pulsing against a night thats anything but holy -- Hamilton Cain * The Washington Post *Kawakami — the author of titles such as Breasts and Eggs and Heaven — has crafted another atmospheric, subtly beautiful novel. * TIME Magazine (A Most Anticipated Book of May 2022) *Kawakami has an effortless way of turning the mundanity of Fuyokos day-to-day into detailed occasions that I want to know more about . . . Though the everyday is more interesting than youd think, this is a book thats really about Fuyoko discovering happiness * Stylist *In contrast to the many suffocating (western) conventions of romantic storytelling, it is refreshing to encounter a book of such irresistible sweet melancholy. * The Irish Times *Kawakami has created a rich and notable examination of the varied ways women choose to live their lives and the gains and losses that come with the choices theyve made. Kawakami writes with the tender and incisive sensibilities of a poet . . . An unforgettable and masterful work. * Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) *Candid and searing, Kawakamis latest is another brilliantly rendered portal into young womens lives. * Booklist (Starred Review) *The author dazzles with her exploration of emotions . . . An invigorating and empowering portrait. Its a winner. * Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) *Out of all the narratives that Ive read that explore loneliness, anxiety and depression, All the Lovers in the Night is possibly the most accurate . . . The book made me feel less isolated in the struggle and after reading it, I made strides to find balance and joy. * Metro *Kawakamis novel is a sensitive analysis of loneliness and self-discovery. * Observer * Promotional From the bestselling author of Breasts and Eggs and international literary sensation Mieko Kawakami comes a deeply moving and magnificently observed story about a young woman searching for meaning.
