Lo que queda de mí es tuyo

In Japan, a covert industry has grown up around "wakaresaseya", that is: relationship terminators. These are people hired by one spouse to seduce the other and then gain an advantage in divorce proceedings by being able to accuse them of adultery. When Sato hires Kaitaro, a wakaresaseya agent, to have an affair with his wife Rina, he doesn't think it could all get out of hand. But the truth is that Sato has never really understood Rina, nor explored her desires. Kaitaro will have to do what Rina's husband has never deigned to do, in order to make her fall in love with her. As Rina ignores the circumstances that have bound him to Kaitaro, the two fall desperately in love, leading them to a dead end in which Rina's own daughter will be trapped. Told from alternate points of view and with the impressive landscape of Japan always as a backdrop, Stephanie Scott presents a novel in which love has intricate repercussions that draw its characters towards tragedy. As Rina's daughter Sumiko fills in the gaps in her mother's story and her own memory, Scott investigates the thorny psychological and moral foundations of the actions we take in the name of love, questioning that dividing line we draw between. passion and possession.
