actually, I was only going to read the stories that encompass "The Life of An Amorous Woman" because it is very loosely the basis for the movie The Life of Oharu (next on my Criterion watchlist), but I decided to read the entire volume. The first set of stories, together called "Five Women Who Chose Love," were downright ick/cringe-y in spots, but I couldn't put this book down.
