The Japanese phenomenon - the story of a grief-stricken schoolteacher who comes face to face with absolute evil. The Japanese film based on CONFESSIONS grossed over $44 million in Japan, won top honours at the Japan Academy awards, and was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Oscars. CONFESSIONS was the recipient of the annual Hon'ya Taisho award in Japan given to the book booksellers want to hand-sell the most. The award is a great predictor of success, as past awards have gone to The Kite Runner , The Lovely Bones , and The Time Traveler's Wife.
Klappentext:
When Yuko Moriguchi's four-year-old daughter died in the middle school where she teaches, everyone thought it was a tragic accident.
It's the last day of term, and Yuko's last day at work. She tells her students that she has resigned because of what happened - but not for the reasons they think.
Her daughter didn't die in an accident. Her daughter was killed by two people in the class. And before she leaves, she has a lesson to teach...
But revenge has a way of spinning out of control, and Yuko's last lecture is only the start of the story. In this bestselling Japanese thriller of love, despair and murder, everyone has a confession to make, and no one will escape unharmed.
