Description
The Girl I Left BehindPrefiguring themes of his later work, the acclaimed Japanese writer Shusaku Endo here writes of choices made by young adults learning who they are and what they want in life. Yoshioka Tstomu is a student, not much interested in his studies, short on cash and long on sexual desire. Eventually he will settle down in a career and marry his boss's niece. Yet he begins to hear a voice in his head that sparks a memory of Mitsu, a plain, naive country girl
Prefiguring themes of his later work, the acclaimed Japanese writer Shusaku Endo here writes of choices made by young adults learning who they are and what they want in life. Yoshioka Tstomu is a student, not much interested in his studies, short on cash and long on sexual desire. Eventually he will settle down in a career and marry his boss's niece. Yet he begins to hear a voice in his head that sparks a memory of Mitsu, a plain, naive country girl he once took callous advantage of during his college days. The episode meant nothing to him at the time; to her it meant the world. Yoshioka's future is assured and conventional. Mitsu, on the other hand, takes quite another path, making a Christ-like commitment to take upon herself the suffering of others.Binding Type: Paperback

a cute read
Format: Kindle
This was a fun and fast read. Major You’ve Hot Mail vibes. This book was a giant validation of books and reading in general and of the romance genre specifically…not that I needed validation!

Amazing 'quick' tan
My all time favorite tanning lotion. Won't use anything else. Yes your hands turn brown as you put it on due to the coffee extract but so do you after laying in the sun for less than an hour!!! Ready for tan lines & summer sunshine!

Great product
I love this product. You just have to remember that it will discolor your towel, but it does come out in the wash.
