 Nonostante la sua lunghezza, questo è un libro che si divora; o, forse, è il libro a divorare te, obbligandoti a voltare continuamente pagina per scoprire cosa succederà poi. Nonostante la quantità piuttosto elevata di personaggi rilevanti per la trama, nessuno di essi viene lasciato al caso, anche grazie al fatto che il punto di vista della narrazione varia da capitolo in capitolo. Oltre che un eccellente thriller, Le quattro casalinghe di Tokyo è anche un’affascinante finestra sulla società giapponese post-bolla economica, specialmente per quanto riguarda le varie categorie femminili che cercavano di navigarla. Peccato per il finale un po’ affrettato e che non chiude tutte le parentesi narrative aperte per lasciar spazio a due scene

di stupro

che, più che scioccare, lasciano, a mio parere, un po’ perplesse.
 (traduzione ottima, con le adeguate spiegazioni che potrebbero essere utili a qualcuno poco esperto di Giappone)
