Perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Fault Lines is a fall debut that you don’t want to miss. I wanted to pick this book up after watching the Olympics, as both the games and the book are set in Tokyo, Japan. The main character Mizuki is a Japanese housewife who caters to her husband’s and her children’s needs. One rainy night, Mizuki meets restaurateur Kiyoshi and their relationship evolves into a secret love affair. 
 
Mizuki, ultimately has to choose one man to keep in her life. Fault Lines is a quiet, yet powerful debut novel that provides a portrait of Japanese female identity and self-reflection. It’s best to read this one slowly to appreciate the sights, smells, and heightened feelings the author Emily Itami incorporates into her stunning debut.
