A lover, her daughter and the abandoned wife: three letters by three women reveal the tragic aftermath of a forbidden love affair. Shoko discovers her mother’s infidelity through her diary, while Midori silently suffers as the abandoned wife. And then there is Saiko, the beautiful betrayer of her closest friend.
Told from three different perspectives, The Hunting Gun explores the profound impact of an illicit passion. With a delicate touch, Inoue weaves together love, death, truth and loneliness in this timeless masterpiece
