About the Book

"Martek does a beautiful job orchestrating the interactions between his characters." -Authors Reading Haru is an analyst with Murano, Japan's largest securities firm. He is on a career fast-track and slated for an off-shore posting in New York. All he need do is complete the series of executive training programs... and find a wife. But Haru doesn't even have a girlfriend. Murano, however, help their young men with introductions, and at the annual cherry blossom festival, Haru finds himself sitting across from Reiko. Though empty of feeling for her, they begin to date, and on a trip to mountain hot springs, Haru stumbles into a proposal. The demands of the relationship - buying an apartment, meeting parents, arranging for the wedding, and managing an unexpected affair with Emily the office girl - send Haru's ordered world spiralling. When the economy descends into financial crisis, Haru is culled from the final graduation and loses his coveted position.

About the Author :
This is Igor Martek's second novel, following his acclaimed Dreaming on an Arabian Carpet. Igor spent ten years living and working in Tokyo as General Manager of a UK based consultancy. He worked closely with financial institutions and witnessed first-hand the effects of the 2008 global financial crash. This story is a fictionalised account of the human cost of that crisis.

Review :
"Brilliant! Set in Japan's financial crisis of 2008. Here is the modern Japanese quest for identity told like no other story." -Robert Frost, Tokyo Times Out "You may have read about the excesses of Japanese sexual fetishes; but not like this. This is new." -Ken Okada, Japan Foreign Literature Review "Riveting! Career, ambition, lust and weakness; a volatile mix. Prepare to be shocked." -Jack Miura, Kodansha Review
