from the back cover:
“Margaret is doing everything in her power to forget home. And Tokyo’s exotic nightlife — teeming with intoxicants, pornography, and three-hour love hotels — enables her to keep her demons at bay. Working as an English specialist at Air-Pro Stewardess Training Institute by day, and losing herself in a sex- and drug-addled oblivion by night, Margaret represses memories of her painful childhood and her older brother Frank’s descent into madness. But Margaret’s deliberate nihilism is thrown off balance as she becomes increasingly haunted by images of a Western girl missing in Tokyo. And when she becomes enamored of Kazu, a mysterious gangster, their affair sparks a chain of events that could spell tragedy for Margaret, in a city where it’s all too easy to disappear.”

tysm to @lostgirlslovehotels @harpercollins @catherinestockholm @besssdrum for this stunning tie-in copy of LOST GIRLS & LOVE HOTELS. i got lost in time reading pages of this book, i’m so intrigued as to where this journey will continue take me. having had our summer japan plans postponed due to covid, i’ve been relishing experiencing Tokyo life through Margaret’s perspective (& ngl the way she shows up at her work reminded me a little of how i first used to show up to 9am Friday morning criminal law seminars the year after my dad passed). i will be posting my reviews once i finish reading, hopefully later tonight ✨
