Thirst for Love

by Yukio Mishima

  

€ 12.50 

ISBN: 9780099530275

Etsuko is a trapped woman who lays traps for others...

After the early death of her philandering husband, Etsuko moves into her father-in-law's house, where she numbly submits to the old man's advances. Meanwhile she develops feelings for the handsome eighteen-year-old servant Saburo. Tormented by his indifference, yet invigorated by her desire, she makes one last, catastrophic bid for his attention.
