The Books Oracle
by Toshiko Tamura
Minoru is intelligent, proud, and married to Toshio — a failed writer who takes his bitterness out on her. Both are trapped: she by fear of leaving, he by the terror that her talent will eclipse him. Toshiko Tamura's portrait of a marriage built on mutual restraint and quiet cruelty.
