日向

by Shūichi Yoshida, 吉田修一, 鄭曉蘭 (Translator)

一對情侶，一對夫妻，還有，一個男人的物語。
人人都有一段不想揭露的關係……

名牌H公關部的新進職員新堂玲，到海邊度假，偶然重逢國中同班同學大路尚純，兩人開始交往……。

尚純是個大學生，與雙親住在文京區小日向的家中，過著單純的日子……。
哥哥大路浩一是銀行員，參與劇場的表演，嫂嫂大路桂子是女性流行雜誌副總編輯，婚後堅持要與全家人同住在一起……。

同住一個屋簷下，即使抱持著不跨進彼此「聖地」的堅守，平凡的日常，卻也彼此牽引出各自懷抱祕密與心事……。

看到田邊賦閒寄居浩一家中與成為全職主婦的桂子一同張羅餐點打理家務的畫面實在有種莫名的溫暖……結局留下的空白大得可以填進任何不同的做愛姿勢= = 雖然很容易讀，但真是說不上好看啊。
