Naomi by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
4.0

A painful love story about a middle-aged Japanese man who raises a teenager to be a society woman, but encounters more than he bargained for when she turns out to have retained her slum breeding behavior. It reminds me a little of Lolita, only Naomi uses her power over her lover more than Lolita did.
